Anan 7000 from SK for sale

Ed W3PG has an Anan 7000 with internal computer (does that make it an 8000?) It is from W1ALZ's estate and he is selling it for Tom's widow. All $$ goes to Ellen. Not sure of price. It was used very little and Ed says he has tried out RX, but made no transmissions. He is on QRZ, contact via that Ema...

Re: Beginning of transmission spike

Yes, rx noise will do it. My usb mic is / was always ON, so the TX mic buffer was capturing it prior to PTT and out came a short burst of whatever is going on in the rx. Had to use relay tied to mox output to keep mike muted until tx. Of course it all depends on level of rx audio vs placement of spe...

Re: TX Profile updates

Pull monitor audio off the receiver I-Q and not from the pure signal corrected I-Q going to transmitter. You loose one channel of monitor audio when in AM due to the way PS works on AM, at least that is the way it works with my 7000 and amplifier.

Re: Severe problem with PureSignal

Look at linearity with PS off using spectrum display.

This is 100 watts - 3rd order IMD on my 7000 about -30 dB from each tone.

With PS ON, it drops to -52 dB.

Sounds like his internal HW has issues since he gets same results with amplifier.

Re: Anan 7000 and mercury hookup

My experience with ANAN 7000 and Mercury IIIS (A factory built one) : The Mercury won't turn on LDMOS bias until it sees RF and if pure signal doesn't have some delay before it starts working, it gets confused over lack of RF out during the time that it knows it is transmitting. It seems to take abo...

Re: Noise cancelling / Phasing using diversity

Another feature of the Diversity Tab is the ability to instantly swap between Rx 1 and Rx 2 and still retain the Display - as opposed to the split feature if activating RX2 separately (and having to select VAC1 or VAC2)

Simply select either Rx 1 or Rx 2 as the Receiver Source.

Use the remotehams.com and their app for android called RCForb. Or you can run it on your PC on the ship. No monthly fees. You configure it as a "FLEX" radio since interface is the same. Not exactly plug and play but setup is not all that difficult - you can PM me with any questions. No fa...

Competition for Pure Signal ?

Ads for the new Icom PW-2 1 KW amp say it has linearization when used with ICOM 7610 HF radio. They show IMD improvements similar to Pure Signal. Does not appear to use RF feedback, the block diagram shows an FPGA at input of the amp. Anyone with more info on how they are doing this? https://www.ab4...

Might be something to his concern with 2.9.06. I've noticed a "flair up" in the broadband noise sometimes with voice input. See screen shots. Both are with voice input into 50 ohm load using AL80B amp at 800 W with coupler feedback to my Anan 7000. When the noise comes up, I see the lower ...

Re: Input attenuator design

Yes, you could make a coupler for -10 dB but you'd experience the same rx path loss as a 10 dB pad, so no real advantage, that I can see. Yes, a fixed 10dB pad probably has no observed effect on usable rx, at least below 20 meters, etc. Simplest way to add some protection without putting it inside t...

Sounds like this is a kit type amp, so I'd put the attn INSIDE the amp and avoid all the relay issues. Optionally, You can set the max power out at full drive level on any band on the 7000 by Setup > PA Settings Caution - Lower numbers mean HIGHER power.

Re: Condenser headsets for 7000 DLE MKII

Using the VAC 1 input, I have one of the under $25 USB condenser mikes from Ebay, with the brand name IKEDON.
Plugs into a USB port on computer and totally eliminates all the RF pickup/feedback with analog mikes, at least in my case.

Just follow the W1AEX instructions on setting up equalization, etc.

Yes, this works wonderfully now! All the other RC Forb functions seem to do something on the ANAN, so if they fixed that MOX/MON key, the server could have a dedicated drop down menu for setup for ANAN. I'll sent them a bug report.
