[hpsdr] TAPR Hermes/Apache-Labs ANAN-10 -- Proposing Newbie Group??

[Bill Diaz]

Larry,
     I have had an Apache Labs production version of the ANAN-10 running 
for about 2 weeks.

     Have used PowerSDR 2.3.3, KISS Konsole and cuSDR.  I have used VAC 
with Teamviewer and Splashtop to remote control the unit over the 
Internet using my Android Tablet with mixed success.

     I have a Flex 1500 and find the Hermes/Anan-10 to be a better 
receiver, primarily due to lack of receiver image issues, wider RX 
bandwidth, and 2 receivers.

     But the best thing about it is some of the whiz-bang features in 
PowerSDR 2.2.3 that are not available in the Flex versions.  The AGC 
gain line display on the panadapter is extremely useful.  I could never 
get NR working correctly until i used the gain line to set the AGC just 
above the noise floor visually.  The collapsible display is 
indescribably useful.  I do not like the standard PowerSDR GUI with tons 
of buttons and sliders cluttering up the screen.  Now I have just the 
controls I need to operate and no more.  Will simplify remote control 
operation for sure.

     I would prefer not to subscribe to "yet another" discussion list.  
You might want to consider subscribing to the the Apache-Labs Yahoo 
group for discussions primarily about the ANAN-10.  There are quite a 
few users who are subscribed to both lists.
