Barrett's 2062 HF Crossgate is a practical, effective and affordable solution for extending the line of sight reach of a conventional VHF/UHF networks by linking them to an HF network using Barrett's HF transceivers. The 2062 can also be used to give field operators with VHF/UHF handheld radios access to the HF network when away from their vehicles.

With the 2062's small size, intuitive user commands and flexible interface to OEM VHF/UHF transceivers makes connection between existing HF and VHF/UHF networks simple and with a minimal investment.
The 2062 cross patch links the HF and VHF/UHF networks by either a specific selcall sent from the and HF station on the HF network or by a specific DTMF sequence sent by a station on the VHF/UHF network. When the networks are linked, received audio from the HF network is broadcast on the VHF/UHF network and visa versa. The link is closed by transmitting a specific selcall from the HF network or a specific DTMF sequence on the VHF/UHF network.
