The Barrett 4049 Automatic Tuning HF Mobile Antenna (P/N BC404901) is specifically designed to interface with Barrett 4000 Series HF transceivers. The Barrett 4049 ATU is equipped with internal GPS. This indoor unit can be used to provide GPS data as part of a GPS tracking network without the need to install a separate GPS, simplifying system installation.
Providing frequency coverage from 1.5 to 30 MHz, the Barrett 4049 has fast tuning (typically less than 1.5 s) and low power consumption capabilities.
When paired with a Barrett 4000 Series HF transceiver, the 4049’s memory tuning function eliminates the need to retune an antenna after a channel change. When returning to a previously tuned channel, the 4049 sets it with a stored transceiver tuning result in less than 100ms.
The antenna’s active tuning elements are housed in a waterproof, impact-resistant mold. This case incorporates a heavy-duty anti-vibration mount on its base.
Even with its rugged construction, the Barrett 4049 weighs only 3.65 pounds. The main body of the antenna has RF and control jacks. The 4049 is supplied standard with a 6m RF composite control cable. A 10 meter RF control cable is available as an optional accessory as in an extension adapter kit (P/N 4019-00-05) (P/N A ). B.C. 401914.
The Barrett 4049 is supplied with a two-piece MILSTD fiberglass whip and spring. An optional NVIS kit (P/N 2019 10) -01- is available in the form of a 3.5m flexible whip section. (inspect)
Due to its robust RF design, the Barrett 4049 antenna can be used with high duty cycle applications such as HF Data.
