Declarations of Conformity
The ANAN-100/D complies ith FCC Part 97 rules for the Amateur Radio Service.
It has been confirmed by the relevant authorities that the ANAN-10/100/100D DO NOT
require FCC certification of any sort
Under rule 97 Amateur radio equipment ith the exception of amplifiers and scanning
receivers are exempt from certification, ho ever, must conform to rule 97 hich states
that harmonic and spurious emissions must be belo 43dB of the transmitted out up to
30MHz and 60dB beyond that.
Revision v1.8 April 23, 2013 6 of 70 authors N9VV and KC9 G

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D
Important Operation tips
1. IMPORTANT: install the supplied 4 rubber feet on bottom of case for proper cooling
2. Do not short rear speaker jack
3. Do not cover rear or bottom ventilation holes. Proper air circulation throughout the ANAN-100/D is
necessary to prevent possible overheating and failure.
4. Calibrate power output to 100W using a 50 ohm Dummy Load. Operating SSB/CW at higher levels will
damage the radio.
5. Data/AM/FM and other continuous duty modes must be operated at 30W or less to remain within the
operational limits of the ANAN-100/D
6. Input voltage must be 13.8 +/- 5%, well regulated at higher amperages and proper POLARITY must be
observed.
7. DISCONNECT the Antenna during Thunderstorms or when not in use.
8. Please ensure that you select the correct model during software setup.
Heat Dissipation
Apache has stated that “The ANAN-10/100/100D use the [heavy duty] Aluminum extruded housing to dissipate
heat just like most military equipment, the 100W extruded section weighs around 2.2Kgs and has [a generous]
1515 sq cms of surface area”.
The design specifications for the ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D have been upgraded since the introduction of the
ANAN-10. The “Hermes” Transceiver board has a small Switching Mode Power supply on-board the PCB. The
SMPS provides a convenient and efficient way to drop from the 13.8vdc supply voltage to the 3.3vdc needed by
several of the Integrated Circuit chips.
In the new ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D, a more conventional voltage regulator was selected to minimize any
SMPS radio frequency noise (birdies), however this also created an additional heat load that needs to be
properly dissipated.
Ventilation holes in the bottom and back panel of the ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D must be clear of
obstructions so that the internal fan can circulate cooling air through the unit.
The ANAN-100 and ANAN-100D should not be operated at greater than 30% of their rated power when used for
extended duty cycles such as digital operation.
The Power Amplifier MOSFET transistors have characteristics that far exceed the needs of normal Transceiver
operation. They are quite rugged. However, other internal components such as the Filters, Integrated Circuits,
and some small SMT parts must also be considered when modes with high duty cycles are in use.

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D
Introduction
ANAN-100/D is a 100W Amateur Radio direct-down-conversion (DDC) and direct-up-conversion (DUC) Software
Defined HF transceiver plus 6 Meters. The ANAN-100/D has a proud heritage from the ANAN-10 DDC/DUC 10W
Transceiver introduced in 2012. The ANAN-10 was cooperatively designed by the OpenHPSDR Team and Apache
Labs. Kevin Wheatley M0KHZ and the OpenHPSDR group developed the original “Hermes” brand Transceiver
board as an integrated version of three of their original backplane PCB's (Mercury + Metis + Penelope).
The Apache Labs ANAN equipment includes the Hermes design in a series of new transceivers. The ANAN-100/D
provides a Gigabit (1000 baseT) Ethernet interface to the host PC. The ANAN-100/D does not use a Firewire™,
or USB interface.
Future ANAN-100/D firmware updates can be easily downloaded via the Transceiver standard Ethernet
connection, eliminating the need for special programming adapters.
ANAN-100/D can be used with a number of different PC Software Defined Radio programs including those
written for Windows®, Linux and MacOS/ ® operating systems.
Note: Please see the Apache Labs ANAN Transceivers webpage:
https://apache-labs.com/1001/Ham-Radio-Products.html
OpenHPSDR software webpage: http://openhpsdr.org/download.php
and a volunteer website http://www.n9vv.com with loads of Apache product information.
Minimum Requirements
Computer basic requirements
1. Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz (bare minimum), or Intel i3, 2.8Ghz or better (recommended).
2. 4GB Ram, or 6GB Ram (recommended).
3, 1280x1024 display screen (or higher) resolution recommended
4. Windows P or newer (Win7 recommended). It is possible some older machines will not give
satisfactory performance, regardless of processor speed.
5. Computer with Full Duplex Ethernet NIC card capable of 1000 baseT/Gigabit Ethernet.
6. Full Duplex Ethernet s itch or router with 1 free 1000Mbs Ethernet port.
7. CAT5E or CAT6 (recommended) Ethernet patch cable to connect ANAN-100/D to Ethernet switch, router
or computer.
Older and slower 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 Hermes to operate correctly. It is possible some older machines will not give satisfactory
performance, regardless of processor speed.

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D
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-100/D at 1000 baseT required to handle 80Mbps. Optional Full Duplex Ethernet 5 port s itch with 1000
baseT Internet connectivity may be required if additional Ethernet ports are needed. Ethernet HUBS will NOT
work properly for this application.
Ethernet Connection
ANAN-100/D must be connected directly to a dedicated Ethernet port on the host PC or to a port on a suitable
Ethernet router or switch. Connection to a dedicated Ethernet port is shown above
Ethernet switch is shown above
For direct connection of ANAN-100/D to a dedicated Ethernet port, a CAT 5 Ethernet cable is
used. Note that a ‘crossover’ cable is not necessary.
IMPORTANT: The Ethernet switch must be capable of operating in full duplex mode at
1000 baseT. The initial release of ANAN-100/D FPGA code operates at 100 baseT, but future
releases will run at 1000 base-T. For this reason, a 100 baseT Ethernet switch may be used in the
interim, but if a new purchase is planned then a 1000 baseT s itch is recommended.
An Ethernet “HUB” will not work properly and is not recommended.

Simple network setup
The OpenHPSDR Hermes/Angelia, ANAN-10/ANAN-100/ANAN-100D radios are designed to work via Ethernet
cabling on a "Local Area Network" or "LAN". Ethernet simplifies the installation, and configuration of hardware
and software on a PC, making the installation basically plug and play. No sound card interface wiring, no
Firewire cards or drivers, no USB ports or drivers needed. It just works!
How simple does it get? This simple:
1. For the most basic network, you don't need any external hardware other than a CAT5 or CAT6
network/Ethernet cable between your OpenHPSDR Hermes/ANAN-* LAN port and your computer's LAN port.
2. Done. Nothing more to do. It just works, but it may take a while to connect each time unless you
assign static IP addresses.
OK, how do I hook my brand new OpenHPSDR Hermes/ANAN-* to my home WiFi (wireless network) router?
1. Connect a CAT5 or CAT6 network/Ethernet cable between the OpenHPSDR Hermes/ANAN-* LAN port
and a free LAN port on your Linksys/Belkin/NetGear/DLink 802.11n wireless router.
2. Done. Nothing more to do. It just works.
Note : Direct connection between ANAN-* and PC is not recommended due to the excessive time which may be
required for an IP address to be assigned.
Note : CAT5 and CAT6 Ethernet cables have 8 pin male modular connectors on both ends. The Hermes/Angelia
ANAN-* radios have a corresponding female 8 pin modular LAN port on the front panel.
