Basic Functionality

The Barrett Desktop Console has the same functionality as a Barrett 4050 

control head with the PTT switches on the front of the console acting as the 

microphone PTT connected to the standard 4050. These switches initiate 

transmit mode in the transceiver.

For further information regarding the operation of the Barrett 4050 HF SDR 

Transceiver, please refer to the Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver Operating 

Manual (P/N BCM40500).

Switches

The right-hand switch is latched PTT. 

Flick the switch downwards for continuous transmission. Transmit mode will 

be halted only when the switch is returned to the neutral position

The left-hand switch is momentary PTT.

Holding this switch up or down will initiate transmit mode on the transceiver. 

Releasing the switch will end transmission.

Note: If connected to a foot switch, the foot switch will act as momentary PTT 

when pressed. Functionality of the Desktop Console switches is retained.
