GARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER FCC RF exposure warning To ensure optimal transceiver performance and to avoid exposure to excessive electromagnetic fields, the antenna system must be installed according to the instructions provided. High voltages exist on the antenna during transmission and truing. Do not touch the antenna during these activities. RF bums may result. Install the grounding system or counterpoise as directed to prevent RF bums from any metal part of the transceiver.

BARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Contacting another station using selective call “Seawall” and Tel call. General in addition to the use of the transceiver in simple voice mode to call other stations there are several different types of selective calling systems available.
BARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Selective Call -“Selcall”™ Seawall is & digital signaling system based on standard CIR-483 for uss on HE networks, Each station in an HF network is assigned an individual four or six digit 1D (identification) and can be called using this 1D.

ERA 0 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Checking for the best channel to use between two stations Beacon call Before using many of the Scaliness and Tel call functions in this section it Is useful to know how to use the "Beacon Call” function. "Beacon call’ allows the operator to determine the signal quality between their station and a station they want to call on a particular channel, but without actually alerting the station they are doing so.
BARRETT 2050 HF $5B TRANSCEIVER Receiving a beacon call When a transceiver receives a beacon request call, it responds by transmitting the beacon call revertible tones, No indications occur on the transceiver. Beacon calls are not saved in the seawall history buffer. Sending a seawall select the channel you want t send the seawall on.
LE SS ae] REEL 55 Receiving a seawall To receive a seawall your transceiver must be programmed for selective calf {Seawall) and where multiple channels are in use the scan function should be activated.

GARRETT 2050 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Emergency calls All seawall emergency calls are transmitted by pressing the button for more than two seconds and less than ten seconds and releasing, the alarm sequence starts upon button release. The action of the emergency call bunion depends on transceiver programming:Selective call alarm that only transmits on the currently selected channel, Transmits the emergency seawall sequence once on each press of the Fy button.

0 HF SSB TRANSCEIVER Scanning channels Scanning allows a HF transceiver to monitor several channels for incoming calls. It is particularly useful as the nature of HF signal propagation means that not all channels are available for communications at one dime. For instance, a station calling @ station that is in scanning can send a “Beacon call’ on any channel knowing the station iris calling is monitoring all its available channels.
