It is very very good. Flex still wins for Remote operation, but the Anan G2 for maybe most other areas except maybe the 6700.

@@Martin_Lynch whats the service location for anan ? uk or abroad

Absolutely, the Anan is ALL about performance rather than aesthetics

Thank you

its definitely one for the Xmas / Birthday wish list :)

Most definitely so..and no long wait from Apache Labs 😂 tnx 73

Thank you - it is a truly excellent radio

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback. The AnanG2 would win in all areas I can think of, that is unless one is remote operating, where Flex is still king of remote operation; Anan at this stage would not be easy to remote operate.

@@Martin_Lynch Thanks Mark - appreciate the remote situation - also for your reply and comments - 73 Dave

I will have to pass on the first question, maybe one for the developers, though the manuals can be freely downloaded from the Anan website. The G2 does have a low power port for a Transverter, plus you can had limit the TX in the config settings. The finals are de-rated from 200W to 100W for robust operation, pulling them back to 1W would not be ideal.

@@Martin_Lynch Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Hi, great question. So far, the only tested methods of interfacing with the G2 is either via piHPSDR running on a Raspberry Pie Touch Screen display, or, via Thetis HPSDR running on a Windows PC with a Gigabit Ethernet connection. We are looking to experiment implementing piHPSDR on the G2's onboard Raspberry Pie, but until that has been tested and confirmed or another Ham has achieved this, we cannot confirm this capability.

​@@Martin_Lynchyou can hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the G2 without the front panel and use it standalone. It will open up the Raspbian Linux desktop and then you will have to close P2APP which feeds data to the ethernet port for Thetis. Then, you can start PiHPSDR from the Raspbian desktop. James WD5GWY

Yes. 6’ power cord is included with G2

Yes a DC PowerPole connection lead is included to connect to a quality Ham Class 13.8v DC supply that needs to be purchased separately.

😂

Hi, not to sure what you mean here, but I was using a Heil Headset ProSet 7 (Dynamic Mic) via the 3.5mm jack when testing on air

Hi, thank you for your feedback and comments. The Anan G2 without display has its software running on an external computer (often a PC running Thetis, but this is not manditory). The Anan G2 WITH Display, can have either piHPSDR running onboard the Anan /or Thetis running on a PC. YES we have both in stock ready for shipping. Any purchases of the Anan from us at ML&S enjoy direct support from our Team for both Sale & Aftersales service - warm regards Mark

Thetis is not built into the G2. piHPSDR IS included with the G2 that has a front control panel. Thetis is a Windows only software fork, which comes from HPSDR which in turn is derived from PowerSDR.

Flex noise reduction very poor. Thetis is excellent…

Each to there own, remembering our HAM licenses are issued for experimentation and self educational purposes.

Why would anyone buy a Flex? The Smart SDR is long in the tooth as well as the hardware. They have done nothing to upgrade both since 2011. They actually downgraded the hardware, the original 6000 series 6300, 6500, and 6700 were built like tanks with inner robust metal framing and thicker quality PCB and components. Then the 6400 and 6600 were released with a Shrinkflation design. The last big thing was v2.0 (2018), I paid $200 for SmartLink remoting yes it's great but since then the only thing Flex has released is Patch Versions of software 3.0 something to repair and try to fix the last 3.0 versions. Many radios went back with corrupted SD card failures and I know 3 operators that the radio burnt and smoked components while sitting idle YES electrical smoke from the back of the transceiver.
