Barrett 4050 User manual

4050 Dual Port Antenna Switch Unit
(P/N BCA40506)
BCM40506/2
The Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver can support a secondary antenna through the use of a Dual Port Antenna Switch Unit. This
allows the transceiver to be connected to two antennas instead of one. Two examples of dual antenna use are a mobile unit
utilising both a 2019 Automatic Tuning Mobile HF Antenna and a 2018 Mobile Magnetic Loop Antenna, or a base station with
one long wire antenna set up orientated North-South with a second long wire set-up East-West.

Channels require a specic Antenna socket to be assigned to them. Ensure that the cor-
rect Antenna (1 or 2) is assigned for correct functionality.
Before rst use of dual antennas, the Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver must be properly congured. For further information on
the operation of a Barrett 4050 transceiver, please refer to the Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver Operating and Installation Man-
ual (BCM40500).
