G2 and Q5 432MHz Wideband Transverter options

Transverters are interesting devices.

I am still learning in this field and think I've understood the principles of transverters.
The Anan G2 seems to be a perfect match for transverter usage, because of its XVTR and XVTR In connectors.

I think it is often assumed, that the IF frequency is 28MHz ...

Re: G2 Ultra with Thetis and Q5 Common IF transveter

I am new to transverters, so this is useful information for me, thank you.

Do you know, which IF Drive Level you have configured on your Q5 transverter?

I assume it would be "0dBm to +20dBm ", but I want to be sure.

Re: Has anyone received a G1 shipping notice?

Updated shipping timeline



We are now targeting the following shipping windows for G1 pre-orders:

Group A pre-orders: Shipping in January
Group B & Group C pre-orders: Shipping in early to late February

I am in Group C and did not hear from them yet.

Re: Button shutdown not detecting a press

In my opinion your script is superior to the bash script, for reasons you already explained.

I am using it on a CM5 and do not use a diode. I just swapped the CM4 for a CM5.

import subprocess

gpiochip="0" #is this the correct gpiochip?

Re: ANAN G2 CM5 upgrade


Still working on p2P autoloading to use with non Display unit.


I assume you use Raspberrry Pi OS "Bookworm".

I do not know, if it is default already, but in my opinion you should try to use labwc as window manager:

# create an autostart entry for labwc
$ mkdir ~/.config/labwc

Re: G2 Updated files and simplified update procedure

I successfully updated the FPGA to V25TTL using flashwriter.
In the source files there is a reference to a "command line tool" it was derived from. Where can I find this command line tool?

For a completley automated Anan-G2 update procedure the cli tool to program the FPGA should also be pulled ...

Re: G2 Ultra 8" fan and some observations unrelated

I have to admit: The lower board covers the Aluminium-slab almost completley, so air cannot be pushed through.
Are there any pictures of a completley disassembled Anan-G2?

Still, there would be many ways to improve thermal performance and noise output.

Re: Over-Clocking the G2 Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module

According to https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=278879#p1689049 it is not safe to push CPU and GPU that far.
It will probably not overheat, but the power envelope is too constrained. If the system is unstable, the SD card's data integrity is at risk.

This is why I suggest to just ...

Re: G2 Ultra 8" fan and some observations unrelated

I am very sensitive to fan noise. In fact, I prefer passively cooled electronic devices.
My goal is for them to be completely silent.
If that is not possible, I prefer air cooling with large diameter fans running at low speeds.
The operating point of the fans must be optimized to ensure adequate ...

Re: Shipping Updates

As meantioned in my post before, I ordered an Anan-G2.

I placed the order in the end of September 2025.

In the early November I received an invoice, which I paid within 2 days.
Since I did not hear or read anything from Apache Labs for 4 weeks, I got nervous,
so I involved support@apache-labs.com ...

This is what piHPSDR presents to the user with Radio "Anan 10E/100B" configured.

But this menu is for the Anan G2 only?

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

When looking at pictures of the old Anan-10E one could think, they changed the case to a cheaper, thinner metal version.
Obviously heat would be a problem, so they slammed on a fan.
I would have paid 25 Dollars more, if the device had a capable but quiet fan design. Now I have to do the mod with a ...

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

While I like my new Anan-10E (Revised) in general, its top fan is something I dislike very much.

From my point of view it is way too loud. Maybe it is just my unit.

My experience with HF transceivers is limited, but most other radios I encountered were somewhat quiet.
It was hard to tell if they ...

Re: Shipping Updates

I ordered an ANAN-10E (Revised) at the end of September and it got delivered from India within six weeks.
For me this is a good sign since I also ordered an ANAN-G2.

I only was willing to go through this process, because I did read a lot before placing those orders.
They used UPS as parcel service ...
