Re: TX audio - Rack gear to Anan G2 interface questions

You attributed quotes to me that I did not make. I am such an idiot. You have my abject apology. What happened was when I went to quote your post and respond to it I accidentally clicked the edit button instead of the quote button and blithely started typing. And, because I am a moderator, the syst...

Re: PC build advice

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 Are the instructions from W1AEX outdated now? "In order...

See this topic: https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4127 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...

Re: PC build advice

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 othe...

PC build advice

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,...

The settings below were suggested by w-u-2-o to disable processing when plugged directly into the anan via 'mic...

Re: TX audio - Rack gear to Anan G2 interface questions

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 abo...

Re: TX audio - Rack gear to Anan G2 interface questions

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. On...

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.

TX audio - Rack gear to Anan G2 interface questions

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 mysel...

Re: BCD output from OC interface

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, ...

Re: BCD output from OC interface

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? Wher...

Re: BCD output from OC interface

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. https://community...

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.

Re: G2 Power On and Off Procedure

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 it p...
