Re: ANAN-10E (Revised) HF & 6M SDR Transceiver

My HL2+ performed nearly as well as my 7000, which impressed me. I decided to order a 10E and hope they sell plenty of them. More success for these black box radios benefits all of us who enjoy them.

Thanks, Dan

Re: New speakers and audio interface

I've used a Focusrite Scarlett for years, and it worked well with my Mac without any issues. I was able to make it work with cmASIO, but the drivers made it unreliable and unpredictable. Consequently, I switched to a Behringer UMC204HD, and its drivers have been excellent—rock solid with no issues ...

Re: VK Amps KM3KM Sampler Comparison

I purchased the VK model specifically because of the surface mount resistors. This keeps the traces short to them. And as Scott says, -55 dB is perfect, at 5 watts or 1500 watts. I never have to add additional attenuation.

Re: Switching between 2 RF couplers, anybody?

I was fortunate, I took a T and split the signal to the Hermes Lite 2 + and Anan 7000 I took a little attenuation out of it and it worked great I was surprised.

Re: Frequency Calibration

I realize this may not be the answer you want, but you might also consider buying a GPS disciplined 10MHz reference oscillator. Leo Bodnar makes a reasonably priced one. The 7000 will automatically use the signal. The 10E's will have to have their internal jumpers configured to use it.

This is relative to the Anan 7000DLE MII.
When I switch the antenna from RX1 to another transceiver, I then disconnect the 500 foot long wire from RX2. I do this as a precautionary measure as not to overload ADC1.
The question is, when RX2 is not enabled in Thetis, is RX2 physically disconnected ...
