1. Features & Tools
ComTekk DISPATCHER Version 2 is a unique, versatile computer-aided dispatch (CAD) console designed for radio dispatch, and includes fire/EMS tone paging. As a software-based solution, DISPATCHER is ideal for remote/portable operations, such as a mobile command post.
Utilizing the computer's sound device, tone-remote signaling, along with voice (microphone), CTCSS tone, tone-burst or alert tones can all be produced simultaneously.
Features included with the standard version of DISPATCHER:
- Controls a single radio using almost any PC or laptop running Microsoft Windows
- Tone-remote or Serial/USB control
- Programmable 2-Tone Paging with repeat & stacking
- CTCSS Encoder
- Tone-burst encoder
- 8 programmable tone channels
- 8 programmable CTCSS (repeater) channels
- 4 Selectable alert tones (2 buttons)
- Keyboard/Mouse PTT control
- Auto-muting of microphone & RX audio
- 3 Programmable function keys
- Monitor function
- Receive / Transmit indicators
- Password-protected settings
