BARRETT

2019 Automatic Tuning Mobile HF Antenna

Installation Instructions

 

 

 
 

The Barrett 2019 antenna plugs directly into the “ATU” and “RF” connectors located on 
the transceiver using the cables supplied. 
 
The Barrett 2019 antenna can be fitted with an optional internal GPS. This internal unit can 
be used to provide GPS data as part of a GPS tracking network without the need to install a 
separate GPS thereby simplifying the system installation. 

The GPS unit is connected via the integrated coaxial, control and GPS cable supplied with 
the Barrett 2019 antenna. The interface cable is supplied with the 3 connectors as standard 
even if the GPS unit is not fitted. 

 
Important:-   

The transceiver must have the 2019 antenna option set during 

programming.
