creating a cable to connect the Anan 10E, that is discontinued to the Expert 2-kFA

Postby ai5os » Mon May 26, 2025 9:38 pm

FOlks,
I'm looking for some assistence to build a cable that would interface between the current itteration of the Anan 10E, to an expert 2-kFa that would allow the radio to control band switching and frequency changes etc. I've uploaded both the Anan 10E manual, and the Expert 2-KFA manuals to chat Gpt to help me design the cable, but I've got no way to test or solder any kind of cable together to determine if it works or not. I'll be controling the Anan through spark SDR on the mac, so that if I choose I can remote in to the rig. Kc5pcb makes cables that will interface with iCom, Yaesu, Kenwood and Elecraft rigs, but as he does not have any Anan gear, he can't verify that a cable works or not. Is there some one who has experience in building succh a cable? I'm totally blind, as in I read braille my computer talks to me, thus the importance to have full cat control if at all possible.
Thanks so much,

Hello,

I am seeking assistance in constructing a cable that will interface between the current iteration of the Anan 10E and an expert 2-kFa amplifier. ideally this cable would enable the radio to control band switching and the amp would follow the radio.

I have uploaded both the Anan 10E and the Expert 2-KFA manuals to chat GPT to assistin designing the cable. However, I lack the ability to test or solder any cable to determine its functionality. I will be controlling the Anan through spark SDR on my Mac, allowing me to remotely access the rig if necessary.

Kc5pcb manufactures cables that interface with iCom, Yaesu, Kenwood, and Elecraft rigs. However, since he does not have any Anan gear, he cannot verify the functionality of a cable.

I am seeking an individual with experience in constructing such a cable. Given my visual impairment, I'd like to have complete cat control over the Anan if possible.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Justin-ai5os

The cable will go between a serial "COM" port on the PC running Spark SDR and the SPE amplifier. That COM port can be a USB-to-serial adapter.
