Any traveller who requires reliable, full power, long distance communications equipment at
an affordable price should seriously consider an HF radio package.
Produced by Perth's Barrett Communications Pty Ltd, the Barrett 2050 offers all of the features that today's users of HF radios have come to expect, plus a number of practical innovations. This transceiver operates over a frequency range of 1.6 to 30MHz for transmit and 0.5 to 30MHz for receive.
There are 500 channels available and the radio comes pre-programmed with a number of useful frequencies. For day to day use you can utilise the Australian National 4WD Radio Network (VKS-737). The VKS-737 Network provides a number of services including weather and road condition reports, direct access to selected police and RFDS facilities and ten base stations which act as contact points for position reporting and safety logging, as well as passing messages to and from home or other network members.
To assist in an emergency you have all the Royal Flying Doctor frequencies. To help combat boredom on those long journeys you can listen to Radio Australia, BBC World, or Voice of America. Telcall is included which allows telephone access utilising direct dial telephone services to place telephone calls without the requirement to go through an operator (call charges may apply).
While HF remains the only cost effective means of long distance communications, conditions at times can be somewhat less than ideal. So when conditions are difficult and it is vital that your message gets through, you will appreciate it has the full legal power output of 100 Watts. Other features which will impress both first time and experienced HF users are the short text message capability, emergency selcall, digital signal processing, internal address books and GPS interface software, all of which are standard in the Outback Traveller Pack. These packages are available through Barrett's worldwide network of sales and service agents.
