Hi folks,
I have recently bought a second hand Barrett 550. It doesnt have selcall enabled.
Does anyone know who can enable this for me in
Adelaide (preferrably southern suburbs). I have been told you need a different mic as
well for selcall...is this so??
What should I expect to pay for this type of service??
TIA

On my 550 it is done in software, no taking the case apart. You will almost certainly need the programming S/W, a null modem cable and a laptop do it. You may be able to do it via the radios head depends on how the unit has had its S/W locked.
The S/W can be locked so it can't be programmed from the head which is the usual case. Or it can be unlocked so you can fully program it from the head.
When my 550 had the S/W locked I could still set up the selcall manually by using the reset key on the head. Changing the mic is optional I beleive.
Try reading the manual and see if this helps.
If you want any more help (I have the owners manual and the programmng S/W) PM me.
To find someone in Adelaisde to do it for you try the links page on the VKS 737 site.
Good luck!
