Chapter 1 - Introduction
Introduction
The ANAN-100 Amateur Radio Transceiver is a modern direct-down-conversion [DDC] receiver, and direct-up-
conversion [DUC] transmitter, Software Defined HF transceiver plus 6 Meters. The ANAN-200D has a proud
heritage from the TAPR Hermes Transceiver introduced in 2012. The ANAN-200D was cooperatively designed by
the OpenHPSDR Team and Apache Labs. Please see “Contributing Members”.
The Apache Labs ANAN equipment includes the “Hermes”, “Angelia”, and “Orion” designs in a series of new
transceivers. The ANAN-200D is operated on a 100Mbps Ethernet interface to the host PC. The ANAN does not
use a Firewire™, or USB interface.
Future ANAN firmware updates can be easily installed via the Transceiver standard Ethernet connection,
eliminating the need for special mechanical or programming adapters.
ANAN Transceivers can be used with a number of different PC Software Defined Radio programs including those
written for Windows
®
, Linux and MacOS/X
®
, Android, and other operating systems.

Minimum Requirements
Computer basic requirements
Intel i3, 2.8Ghz or better [recommended].
4GB Ram or more [recommended].
1280x1024 display screen [or higher] resolution recommended
Windows XP or newer. It is possible that some older machines will not give satisfactory performance,
regardless of processor speed.
Computer with Full Duplex Ethernet NIC card capable of 1000 baseT/Gigabit Ethernet.
Full Duplex Ethernet switch or router with 1 free 1000Mbs Ethernet port.
CAT5 or CAT6 [recommended] Ethernet patch cable to connect ANAN to Ethernet switch, router, or
computer.
Older and slower Desktop, Laptop, Tablets, or Notebook computers may require considerable optimization before
they can provide necessary performance for trouble free SDR operation. This optimization may require that
certain applications and services be stopped in order for the Apache Software to operate correctly. It is possible
some older or slower machines will not give satisfactory performance, regardless of processor speed.
Suitable routers or LAN Network switches
A Full Duplex wired or wireless Ethernet Router with sufficient ports to connect the host computer and the ANAN
at 1000 baseT required to handle at least 80Mbps. An optional Full Duplex Ethernet switch with 1000 baseT
Internet connectivity may be required if additional Ethernet ports are needed. Ethernet HUBS will NOT work
properly for this software application.
