It's the round one on the old housings (100D, 200D, 7000DLE).

ANAN-7000DLE Mk2 power switch

Hi,

I need the p/n of the power switch at front panel of an ANAN-7000DLE MK2, should be the same as in -100D, -200D and 7000.
The old man (80+) is 1000 km away and I try to help him at less cost as possible.

73, Norbert

Hi,
This may be a daft question, I just got a G2 last week. How do I see the current firmware version I am running?
Is this the correct place? If so mine shows 2.0.0 which seems very different to version 17 mentioned here?
Thanks
