Thanks for sharing that Tony. It's hard to keep up with all that's going on!

Thank you for the 3.4.7 release Doug. It's all working fine here and the transmit panafall and waterfall are clean as a whistle!

Hi Gary, Glad that worked out. As Walter (DL2XY) mentioned, the REC and PLAY buttons in the GUI only record audio and are intended for re-transmitting a received station's audio. It's important to enter TX mode before hitting the PLAY button for this to work as intended. The "Wave File Controls...

"PLEASE tell me how you get it (QUICK REC/PLAY) to work on SSB!" Gary, The REC/PLAY function is for re-transmitting a signal back to another station. If you hit PLAY while you are in receive mode it will do exactly what you have described. After making a recording, switch to transmit, and ...

One easy thing to try is to install washers under the screw heads of the DB-25 male connector you are plugging into the port. I use a small lock washer under each screw since they are thicker than a standard washer. This keeps the screw from bottoming out in the ANAN's DB-25 female port so that the ...

Hi Keith, That would be a very informative comparison and I am sure many would be interested in the results that you get. As far as the effectiveness of NB1 and NB2 with the ANAN platform, from what I can see, the default settings excel with strong staccato type impulse noise typical of power line n...

I would echo Gary's experience with the NB and NB2 implementation. I don't often have line noise "buzz" after the power company replaced all the poles, transformers, primary and secondary wiring and all the associated hardware in my area several years ago. That being said, there is a 34KV ...

Hi, I moved from version 5.0 to 5.2 with my ANAN-200D (REV 24) and found that Pure Signal would no longer function. Same report and symptoms as Erwin mentioned with version 5.1 (the rig behaves as if the RF feedback path is not connected to the rear panel bypass port). I reverted back to firmware ve...

Hi Rick, I operate a lot of AM with my ANAN and have used the REC button in the software GUI to make recordings and then play them back over the air with the PLAY button. You do have to be transmitting before you hit the PLAY button for that to work correctly. I have also used the WAVE recording for...

Hi Greg, Congratulations on the new 8000DLE! Yes, the new database merge process is very reliable and your new install should be completely stable with the merge of your old database settings into the new version's database. Chris - W2PA did a beautiful job with that feature and has relentlessly pur...

The panafall is behaving correctly for me now during TX and I should also mention that the CTUN feature is behaving very nicely. Thank you for chasing down these items and the other little annoyances that popped up between 3.4.3 and 3.4.6. I appreciate all the effort it takes to produce these quick ...

Thank you Doug and Happy Thanksgiving!

It appears that the default setting for PRO Latency is "4" which is where I have left it. I have not played around with any of the CTune features that Chris has been working on but I'm looking forward to checking that out very shortly! 73, Rob http://www.w1aex.com/archive/pro.jpg

Thanks for the release description Scott. When I place my cursor over the PRO Latency setting on the Hardware Config page a pop-up that says "Packet Re-ordering Latency" shows up. That sounds like it might be a correction for packets that arrive out of sequence, which you've mentioned a fe...

Version 3.4.3 showed up yesterday at the download link shown below. I've spotted some of the new stuff in the setup menus but there are currently no application notes yet on the release. I am sure the developers are working overtime to write out the details of what is new so let's give them some tim...

The rumors out there say that the developers are hard at work and that it is right around the corner Bill.

I've been following the thread Eric and scratching my head because the behavior of the rig was so strange. Thanks for posting the explanation of what was going on. As you said, very strange that the conflict was not reported by the OS or one of the devices, but good for you for sorting it out! 73, R...

For those lucky people who have a beautiful ANAN-8000DLE there is a new skin available to match the front panel of your top-end ANAN. The truth is that you can use the skin no matter what ANAN you have so if you like it grab it anyway! You can download it at: http://www.w1aex.com/hpsdr/hpsdr.html ht...

Thank you Simon!

I'm not sure if what I am seeing is due to a firmware timing issue, or if I have possibly missed a setting somewhere that is causing my issue. With the ANAN-200D running protocol 2 firmware version 1.1 (the newest available) the SDR-Console definition search function correctly locates my rig. As can...

I chatted with Ed-NP2G for several minutes today on 40 meters. He was running his ANAN-8000DLE with Simon's SDR-Console V3. It sounds great and even without APD it looks very respectable in the panadapter. My 200D is not yet able to run V3 as it locks up within a few seconds of starting. My guess is...

The ability to adjust every aspect of the transmitter and receiver is one of my favorite things about the ANAN rigs. Of course the performance is an even better feature! I think you will enjoy whatever model you decide to purchase.

A quick follow-up after playing around with OpenHPSDR v3.2.10 this afternoon. The IQ tuning behavior with v3.2.10 is the same as v3.4.2 when CTUN is not enabled. The VFO frequency appears to be accurate but the displayed band of stations in the panadapter does not move at all. With CTUN enabled, whe...

Hi Kevin, I have not played around with this feature at all so I am hesitant to say that it is working as it's intended to. I believe that I am seeing exactly the same behavior you are describing and it does seem to be broken: Tuning does not track in the panadapter with CTUN disabled. When CTUN is ...

Hi Kevin, I have found that it does not work for me unless I enable the CTUN button (underneath the AVG and PEAK buttons in the GUI). When CTUN is enabled I can tune around in the panadapter normally while playing back an I/Q recording. I'm not sure if the way I do this is normal behavior for OpenHP...

Hi Tommy, As a long time user of a Flex 5000 I have to say that I had tons of fun with mine. That being said, it would be unfair to compare the Flex 5000 with any of the ANAN rigs because they are in very different classes. The direct sampling ANAN rigs with the enhanced CFC Audio Tools and adaptive...

Gary, Another thing to consider is that PowerSDR.exe (OpenHPSDR mRX PS) should be run with administrative privileges as the database.xml file is stored in the "Users" hierarchy of folders and Windows is very fussy about non-admin level programs writing data to that area. Without an adminis...

Volker, My ANAN-200D, which is less than 6 months old, has far greater air flow through the case than my ANAN-100, which was purchased direct from India back in 2014. I think Apache Labs took to heart the concerns expressed by users regarding heat and opened up the bottom fan port (no more drilled o...

In most cases, this problem is easily resolved by bringing up the Windows command prompt and typing in the following command: lodctr /R ...and then you press ENTER and Windows magically repairs itself. If all is well, Windows reconstructs a couple of data files in the Windows/System32 folder and you...

I think you've got every base covered Scott. As long as every step is followed, using the Programmer or the Bootloader should be a quick and easy experience that turns out perfect every time!
