3 Installation
3.1 Important Operation tips
Do not cover rear or bottom ventilation holes. Proper air circulation throughout the ANAN-G2
Transceiver is necessary to prevent possible overheating and failure.
The radio is factory calibrated to 100W into a 50 ohm Dummy Load. Operating at higher levels will
damage the radio. Please review CCW and ICAS specifications.
Data/AM/FM and other continuous duty modes must be operated at 30W or less to remain within
the operational limits of the radio.
Input voltage must be 13.8vdc +/- 5%, well regulated at 30A Peak and proper POLARITY must be
observed.
DISCONNECT the Antenna during Thunderstorms or when not in use.
Please ensure that you select the correct hardware model during software setup: ANAN-G2 100W.
Install the supplied rubber feet on the bottom of the case for proper cooling.
3.2 Heat Dissipation
ANAN-G2 uses a heavy duty Aluminium heat sink to dissipate heat with temperature controlled
internal and optional external fan.
ICAS [100W] operation
SSB, CW and all ICAS modes [Intermittent Commercial/Amateur Service] 100W PEP
The Power Amplifier MOSFET transistor has characteristics that far exceed the needs of normal
Transceiver operation.
3.3 Quick Start
Make sure that you have the following equipment and accessories:
A 13.8v 30A Power Supply
50 Ohm Dummy load capable of at least 100W load capacity
DC Power Cable (Supplied)
Optional Keyboard/Mouse (either USB or Wireless)
With the Radio switched off:
1. Connect the Keyboard/Mouse to one of the USB ports, if required
2. Connect the DC power cable to the PowerPole connector. Please ensure that the RED side
corresponds with the Positive supply.
3. Connect the Dummy Load to the ANT1 connector.
4. Connect an ethernet network cable from the rear panel network connector to your home
network.
5. Switch on the Radio: you should see the power button light up and then the internal PC
booting. Once linux boots and is ready you are ready to launch your SDR client application
(see next sections).
6. Once you have tested basic functionality you may remove the Dummy load and connect the
Antenna ensuring good SWR before you are ready to go on Air!
It is possible to connect additional external displays if required using the rear HDMI connectors.
