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.
