Hi Scott, As I mentioned there are significant changes to the LPF, SWR/Directional coupler design. The 200W PA has been tweaked as well. There is an internal low noise DC-DC converter for the 12v rail. I would recommend using Meanwell HEP-600-48, its completely silent and rugged. If fan noise does n...

Hi Christoph,

Many thanks for your effort and the amazing additions to Pihpsdr, I am running your latest commit and it works really well!

Hi Scott/Volker/Tony and all, These are the changes incorporated into the MKII compared to the previous model: 1. Incorporates the Orion MKII rev5.2 with the Tx attenuator (please note that all 8000DLEs shipped in the last few months also incorporate the same revision of the Orion MKII) 2. Use of 48...

Hi All, I would suggest that all ANAN-7000DLE/MKII and ANAN-8000DLE/MKII users update their firmware: https://apache-labs.com/download_file.php?downloads_id=1017 This firmware addresses an issue with the Mini Circuits Attenuators used in the radio, it seems that the new batch of attenuators do not l...

Hi All, We are pleased to introduce the ANAN-7000DLE MKII, there are several improvements and changes incorporated in this radio which improve the performance, stability and usability. 1. Integrated i5/i7 Windows 10 computer with SDR client preloaded and calibrated at the factory making the radio co...

There is nothing proprietary about the PA design, increase the bias for better IMD without PS, however, PS works best with 250mA bias (each MOSFET). Not sure why one would run the rig without PS enabled?

Conrad,

Are your measurements taken with PureSignal enabled?

Just finished making a working prototype of Laurence, G8NJJ and Kjell, LA2NI's excellent Console for the ANAN/HPSDR radios, this controls almost all the PowerSDR functions using a 4.3 inch touchscreen, Tuning knob, four dual rotary knobs and a set of 17 buttons. Next to get it into a decent housing!...

Hi All, We have a few units of Factory refurbished (Display Units) as new ANAN-7000DLEs on special, these look and work like new and come with the full one year warranty. Limited units available, get one today: https://apache-labs.com/al-products/1051/ANAN-7000DLE-100W-HF--6M-Transceiver---Factory-R...

Very interesting read!

Hi Fabio,

The details of the connector (Digikey part nos)

A30590-ND (Connector)
A30642-ND (Metal connecting terminals)

You can use a fan up to 250mA 12v rating,

Thanks,

Abhi

The Fan controller is not software driven, it has a built-in temperature sensor and speed controller. The reason for doing so was to prevent cooling failure in case of a firmware/software crash. The low speed rattle is not specific to the particular fan used since we tested several models, May I als...

We tried several FAN controllers most of which caused serious EMI to the receiver, the controller used currently was the most RF silent, however, it induces a slight rattle in the FAN when running at low speed, you will notice that the rattle disappears when the FAN speeds up with temperature increa...

The 7000DLE internal FAN noise is slightly higher than the 200D, however, it is also moving more air, this was a conscious design decision and allows for a MUCH cooler radio, with the larger heat dissipation and better forced air cooling available to the 7000DLE it can run 100% ICAS duty cycle. 73, ...

Hi All,

We have shipped limited quantities to both HRO and Gigaparts as well as our EU Distributors,

All preorders should be fulfilled within the Next two to three weeks, thanks for your patience!

Hi Volker,

Yes, no Line Out, have been replaced by the two Digital Inputs, the Orion MKII header does provide the Line Outs but they are not connected to the back panel,

What do you need the line out for?

Thanks,

Abhi

ANAN-7000DLE Update: We are happy to inform everyone waiting for the 7000DLEs that the factory has completed production of the first lot of PCBs, now we will commence integration of the electronics into the chassis and subsequent testing and burn-in of the radios, expected ship date is mid November....

Hi Rob, The 7000DLE certainly uses an Orion MKII, the PA board is completely new with the following improvements over the rev24 PA board: 1. PA Gain redistribution for better IMD 2. Thermally compensated Bias 3. Current/Voltage/Temp Sensors 4. Temp controlled internal and option for external FAN 5. ...

Absolutely!

Hi All, There is a much faster SBC from ASUS called the tinker Board available which will be a drop in replacement for the Rpi3, the advantages are Gigabit ethernet support and double the processing power. https://www.asus.com/us/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board/ John, myself and possibly a few ot...

Hello Group, I have received quite a few requests to make the Orion MKII card available, since the card puts out 2W it is especially attractive to those who are home brewing LDMOS amplifiers, we have made huge improvements in both Receiver and transmit performance with this board which has taken ove...

Hi John,

Thanks for the update, can you please share the modified sketch file please, we can incorporate this change to the release,

Hi All, Please note that the correct procedure for downloading firmware from Github is as follows: Link: https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Firmware - Select the Protocol (Protocol-1 or Protocol-2) - Select the Radio or Card - Click on the file, *.rbf for the firmware or *.qar for the Quartus Archive...

Hi All, Some users of the 8000DLE are experiencing SWR trips when using the Radio amplifiers, this is because most amplifiers can have an SWR of 1.5:1 or higher, the Microprocessor based primary protection in the 8000DLE with the initial controller firmware is sensitive to this, therefore, we have r...
