RS HF 8SB TRANSCEIVER ALE flit mode The ALE is configured with its entire network data using the Barrett PC based ALE fill program. Refer to the Barrett 2050 PC based programming software that contains the ALE fill program for details.
Programming functions The Barrett 2050 transceiver can be programmed in three ways:Using the 2050 programming software, loaded on a PC, and transferring information to the 2060 by either IR through the front panel or by RS-232 through the auxiliary connector, By direct key entry through the front panel Note:This facility may not be available it the network administrator has barred the function during programming using a PC.
BARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Programming using the Ir DA link To program the transceiver using the IR link your PC or notebook should be fitted with an #DA standard IR facility and have the Barrett 2000 series programming software running. Bring you PC or laptops IR device in visual range of the IR window on the front panel of the 2050 transceiver then go to the “Standard Menu — iR Enable section” and enable the IR facility.

REED 0 HF §8B TRANSCEIVER 2050 transceiver in the 2040 man pack adapter The Barrett man pack uses a Barrett 2050 deployed in the Ba melt 2040 man pack adapter, therefore all the operations described in the manual above will operate when the 2050 transceiver is in this configuration.
Powering and charging the Barrett man pack The Barrett man pack transceiver uses a 10th Lithium fon battery cartridge. With the battery cartridge fitted in the man pack the transceiver can be operated and fhe battery cartridge charged when a DG input of between 22 VOC and 26 VDC is supplied fo the unit.

BARRETT 2050 HF 858 TRANSCEIVER Operation in the man pack configuration Man pack operation using the automatic antenna tuner The Barrett man pack can be used with the 10 meter throw over long-wire provided or the optional 3 meter collapsible whip. Note:Either the whip or the long-wire can be used but not both together.
GARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Using the throw over long-wire antenna The Lang-wire antenna should be unfurled and the end away from the man pack transceiver should be attached to any structure available and as high as possible. Note:When using an UN-tuned antenna such as fhe whip or the long-wire the section “2040 Antenna Select” in the standard menu should be used to enable the automatic tuner i.e. select operation. When this is selected the in.
