Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

Yes Scott I agree - let me just provide some more feedback to this topic as I spent some more time and started measurements. First of all we compared results on 2 different ANANs (one 7000DLE and one 7000DLE MKII black face) Both jump back to 10 MHz reference if the external reference jumps too much...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

Hi dear Scott, dear Tony, The problem got fixed at the end. I opened the ANAN-7000 today and checked the cables. Scott you were right - they mixed up the cables of transverter and RF Ref In.....unbelievable! The box was never open - done by the factory. I added the 2 jumpers and corrected the cable...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

Hi Scott, Many thanks for your quick reply - much appreciated! So I connected the Bognar device to the 10 MHz input (SMA-connector on rear)......but I tried the other as well (just in case they mixed it up). The Bognar device is the mini - just one port. It can be switched between 8 mA and 24 mA in ...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

Run it at the maximum setting. This will get you a 3.3v square wave output signal. I bought the Chinese unit, which was riskier, of course, because I wanted access to the uBlox GPS chip serial data output and a 1pps output, neither of which the Bodnar unit has. I did not need or want an adjustable ...

Re: New -10/-100 16-BIT Hermes Protocol 2 Firmware Topic

Hi, Let me try to explain the problem: K19 switches the RX to ground while transmitting. So the ANAN-10 is able to run "Pure Signal" without modifications but there are major downsides: 1) Feedback level must be tremendous 2) Dangerous - if K19 shows contact problems your feedback level mi...

Re: New -10/-100 16-BIT Hermes Protocol 2 Firmware Topic

Hi Rick,

Tested Pre21 very quick - sample rate 192K...….no Pure Signal any longer.
Did 20 tests not even one tx with PS.....sorry, went back to Pre20.

But "thanks" for developing this further Rick!

Re: New -10/-100 16-BIT Hermes Protocol 2 Firmware Topic

Hi Walter, Just a quick feedback - using an ANAN-10 here, but of course same Hermes H/W as your 100 (non D-version). My ANAN is down to 600 mA....so total power consumption is just 7,2 W @ 12V. And I am using an external pre-selector as well which is included here. You find pictures here: http://ww...

Understood Mark..... Well, I have never had that on my 7000 but the percentage of modulation is a factor on the ANAN-10 / Hermes. I went back in my lab and did some analyzis. Even when modulating with a generator at full audio power right from the beginning PS-A fails frequently. As Arno stated befo...
