Thanks! I will check it out.

I use the K9DUR keyer sometimes, as you found out the only way to get PTT is to set a serial port in K9DUR and since this is a "virtual" port, make a pair in VSPE and use paired port in Thetis.

VSPE is worth the one time cost I think.

Thanks Doug! I just wanted to make sure I was not ...

I recently configured K9DUR's VoiceKeyer with Thetis v2.10.3.5.

In order to control PTT for VoiceKeyer, the manual states the following:

VoiceKeyer controls the radio PTT by toggling the DTR and/or RTS pins on a PC serial port.
Most commercially-available sound card interfaces sold for digital ...

Got it.

NIC priority is a Windows setting and has nothing to do with Bootloader or Programmer.


You suggested I read this topic viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4127
In that topic you posted the following, where I read about the Programmer being required. Are the instructions from W1AEX outdated now?

Remember that Wi-Fi counts as a NIC, i.e. you can use Wi-Fi for your normal network connection and the Ethernet port for the radio.

Do I need to install HPSDRBootloader, or just HPSDRProgrammer, in order to set the ANAN ...

You do want to plan on running dual NICs with one dedicated to the ANAN but you can do that on a PCIE board rather than on the motherboard.

Thanks Scott! You answered all my questions in one fell swoop... but you created a new question. Do you have dual NICs - one connected to your LAN and the ...

I am planning to build a PC strictly for operating my Anan G2 and Flex 6600. Any advice on any (or all) of the following items is much appreciated. My past PC building experience is limited to a couple flight simulator rigs and several basic home PCs. Shooting from the hip I would go with a Core i7 ...

If I want to use cmASIO as an 'analog-to-digital' bridge for my rack audio gear. What settings need to be altered in Thetis to make sure no additional audio signal processing is occurring? The settings below were suggested by w-u-2-o to disable processing when plugged directly into the anan via 'mic ...

Hard to say. You'll have to try it. As I already wrote, a lot of people have had trouble using the G2 balanced input even with just a microphone by itself. Interesting. My PR40 has been working with an XLR to TRS cable connected directly to the 'XLR' jack of the G2. I will look for some threads ...

For line in see here: https://www.w1aex.com/anan/anan.html#audio_chain
The G2 has a balanced input on the rear. I don't have a G2 but I believe that connector is a 1/4" TRS jack. People have had all manner of difficulty trying to use that input but theoretically it is the obvious way to go. One ...

I went with the B2BCD. While it cost nearly $200, it works like a champ and it works with my other radios CI-V, BCD, CAT without the need for further custom cabling.

I have read through quite a few threads about integrating analog audio into various Anan models and there seems to be a trend towards "just get rid of all that old rack gear, the Anan's internal capabilities are far superior in most cases" ... which I do not doubt. For operators like myself who are ...

ANAN pin 9 to AG pin 11
ANAN pin 8 to AG pin 12
ANAN pin 7 to AG pin 13
ANAN pin 6 to AG pin 14
ANAN pin 1 to AG pin 15

On each of the four "band" lines connect a pull-up resistor to +12VDC. This can be done at the ANAN end or the AG end.

I appreciate you explaining all of this. Maybe if I saw ...

Building a cable with four resistors is literally the simplest solution. Hell, if you use things like this you could even do it with just a screwdriver and a wire nut.

If anyone has built one of these simple cables (or used a breakout board and wire nuts) and would be willing to share some photos ...

If you look at Joe's schematic, in your application you only need the 3.3K resistors and a source of 12VDC. You can leave out all the other resistors because you do not need adjustable pull-up voltage.

In my case, would the 3.3K resistors attach to the pins for Bands A, B, C, D, and RF Ground ...

You can’t directly supply a bcd “high” output, but I did make a small interface that fit in a db9 enclosure that I use for my amplifier band “bcd” interface. It works very well. You may have another approach, hope this helps. Please check out this posting here from some time back.

You might find the explanation of how the OC interface works at this topic valuable as well:

To double down on that, I'm going to guess you are not familiar with the concept of a "pull-up resistor"?
Good guess.


From this ...

It's really not that difficult.

There are lots of handy products to add some pull-up resistors to a DE9 connector.

Is it possible to output BCD directly from the OC port? I am trying to send the band data to an antenna switch mounted at my tower.

Thanks and 73!

Important! Remember to turn off your DC power supply when the radio is not in use. (Or the G2’s internal power supply will overheat due to the internal fan in the G2 not running when radio is in Off/Standby mode)

Are you sure about this? Did you read this somewhere else or have you experienced ...

Yes, it took about 4 weeks from order to shipped.

Roughly how long is the wait for an ANAN-G2 w/o screen? Thx
