| I just inherited a Barrett 2050 with a 2023 HF modem. Someone tell me what I have. I have no manual for the thing. Just a hand microphone. |

Very interesting radio you have.
Here is a download site for the manuals. http://www.hf-radio.com.au/manual-menu/manual%20index.htm http://www.barrettcommunications.com.au/2050.html |

I would love to have one of those.
For ham use its of less use to many because it won't have a VFO but only progremmed hard channels, but for MARS and similar work it would be a great rig. I have some earlier Australian built rigs, Codam 8528's, and they are the same way. |

A used, tested and verfied working one probably $900-1000 based on that. Untested less, of course. HF modem will add a couple hundred I expect, tested and working. I don't have cash, but would trade a lot of nice surplus for one...
