No listens commands were used.  Just conferences as listen only - easier for user since it doesn't need to be turned on and a talk can still be programmed on the button.

Does the limit of 100 members in a conference apply equally to users who are listen only?

Yes it does.  That's why we break showcall into departments.  also it lowers the traffic one hears by not including any of the other conference calls to showcall in yours.  we stack them on the Showcaller's and ASM keys.

I like that, good idea.

Did you end up using the Tait duplex base stations as shown in the drawings?

Just curious - a long established New Zealand company still manufacturing the majority of its product in the same town where Sir Angus Tait started in 1947.

A town I am sitting in right now!

I'm a big fan of Tait the gear, as well as Tait the company, which has an unusual structure to try to prevent its management screwing it up.

We use to use Tait radios in the Land Mobile business (community repeaters and such) if I recall they even had a paging base station.

Always enjoyed working on it.  Looking at the pictures I think they were T800's

[David Buckley]

The T800s just wont go away: they are still - after 30 odd years - manufactured for some VHF bands.  The UHF models are now well discontinued.    There are bazillions installed.  Many that were retired from commercial service ended up with a second life as amateur radio repeaters.

I have added more detail and more pictures.

Hi Pete,

How is the programming done for the users who are sharing a panel with double headset? Custom audio patch using the second matrix channel and then selecting 2nd channel on the neccessary keys? How about sidetone?

Hi Pete,

How is the programming done for the users who are sharing a panel with double headset? Custom audio patch using the second matrix channel and then selecting 2nd channel on the necessary keys? How about sidetone?

Most of the 2 headset panels are just sharing the same keys, no second channel.  This is a slight problem because the 2nd headset on an RCP panel usually adds a little buzz (slight hardware bug).  When needed I usually add a second audiopatch to turn on the second headset to minimize its use with a "2nd HSon" button on the panel.  On a DCP it's OK but we aren't using them.  There are 2 CCP commentator panels each with 2 announcers for the verbal descriptive audio channel (for blind audience) and they work fine and they are programmed for 2nd ch use of the comm system.

If you do program the second headset to use the 2nd channel, sidetone can be specified for ch2.

Hi Pete,

It looks like the CCTV system is IP based across a network with servers for recording, and that the viewer stations are PC's with monitoring software? How does Mediornet fit into the system? Is it just being used to transport Ethernet data to switches at each node?
