THE UNIT COMES WITH THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO RUN THE SDR ALREADY INSTALLED,
SO THE UNIT IS READY TO USE OUT OF THE BOX.  AS TESTED HERE, THETIS
SOFTWARE VERSION 2R7R0 AND METIS FIRMWARE VERSION 2R0 HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
THETIS/METIS IS ALSO KNOWN AS PROTOCOL 2 AND IS THE LATEST GENERATION
FIRMWARE AND SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR THE APACHE LABS ANAN SERIES SDR
TRANSCEIVERS.  I WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL THAT 128 GB IS SUFFICIENT STORAGE,
BUT WITH TWO SDR SOFTWARE VERSIONS AND MANY THIRD PARTY HAM RADIO AND MARS
MILITARY AFFILIATE RADIO SYSTEM APPLICATIONS LOADED, MY USAGE IS 48 GB.
THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR WORD PROCESSING, SPREADSHEET, AND OTHER
APPLICATIONS, BUT ANYTHING WITH A VERY LARGE DATABASE MIGHT BE A CHALLENGE.
BECAUSE THE UNIT HAS THE CAPABILITY OF WI FI AND ETHERNET LAN CONNECTIONS,
EXTERNAL STORAGE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE.  THE APACHE LABS ANAN SERIES RADIOS,
INCLUDING THE ANAN 7000DLE MKII, HAVE THE FOLLOWING MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS 1 THE
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL CHASSIS, INCLUDING A HEATSINK AND FANS, WITH
PROVISIONS FOR EXTERNAL FANS.  2 THE RF BOARD CONTAINING THE ANALOG PARTS
OF THE RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER, THE POWER AMPLIFIER, AND THE FILTERS.  THE
NEW RF BOARD IN THE 7000DLE MKII OFFERS BETTER RECEIVER DYNAMIC RANGE AND
BETTER TRANSMIT PURE SIGNAL PRE DISTORTION SUPPORT THAN PREVIOUS HARDWARE.
PURE SIGNAL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE TRANSMITTED IMD PRODUCTS, AS
