BARRETT 2030 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER

Night

The sun is lower, ionosphere is lower; best frequency to use is lower

A to B - Possible optimum working frequency is 3 MHz

A to C - Possible optimum working frequency is between 5 MHz to 7 MHz

A to D - Possible optimum working frequency is between 9 MHz to12 MHz

Factors Which Affect HF/SSB Communications

There are a number of different factors which will affect the success of your
communications via HF/SSB radio. These are outlined below:-

Frequency Selection

Frequency selection is perhaps the most important factor that will determine the
success of your HF/SSB communications.

Generally speaking the greater the distance over which you want to communicate,
the higher the frequency you should use.

Beacon Call, a Selcall (Selective Call) function built into the Barrett transceiver,
makes finding the correct frequency to use easy. Beacon Call is based on the
network transceivers all having a selection of frequencies that will accommodate
most ionospheric conditions. When in standby the network transceivers scan these
frequencies waiting for a call (Selcall or Beacon Call) from another transceiver. The
transceiver wishing to check for the best frequency to operate on sends a Beacon
Call to the station he wishes to contact. If his call to the other station is successful
he will hear a revertive call from the station he is calling, indicating the channel he
selected was suitable for the ionospheric conditions prevailing. If he does not hear
this revertive call or it is very weak, he tries on another channel until a revertive call
of satisfactory signal strength is heard.

(Refer to Selcall (Selective Call) section of this manual for full details on Beacon
Call operation.)
