    Barrett 950/550

    Anyone know if the 950 procedure for editing channels from the front panel work for 550 series?
    I have a 550R bought in 1998 as Outback Pack, still has the original programmed channels so is minus two VKS-737 channels and will have a few redundant channels.
    It was fitted to my original Disco 1 until I sold about 3 years ago, tried to sell it a couple of times with no takers and as I now have a Disco 2 I decided I might as well fit it again.
    I have tried to get the Barrett software but no luck there. I realise it runs under DOS on slow computer but that is no problem and I have started to swat up in preparation for Amateur Foundation license, which perhaps might lead me to the software.

    Regards
    Tommo

    I do not know the answer to your question.

    There is a copy of the manual here if it helps [ame]http://www.hf-radio.com.au/manuals/550-user-manual.pdf[/ame].

    Unless the model you have is able to be free-tuned I would have assumed that it would be similar to a standard Codan of the era with all transmit channels programmed onto an eprom ? Eproms for even the older Codans are readily available so perhaps you could contact one of those vendors ?

    Anyhow, someone who knows a lot more will hopefully come along soon.

    Thanks, but I still have all original documentation, which gives no info on programming any extra channels. It can be free tuned on receive only.

    Regards
