Chargers operate as conditioners
The LAA0344 and LAA0345 conditioning battery chargers from Relm Wireless are compatible with all BK Radio rechargeable battery packs. Both chargers operate as standard chargers or as battery conditioners. These chargers accommodate NiCd and NiMH batteries. When operating in the conditioner mode, the charger runs the battery through a drain and charge cycle. By doing this, memory effect is reduced, resulting in a longer life for the battery.

Isolator separates phone line, equipment
The OC-100/200 from Hark Tower Systems optical telephone line isolator isolates equipment from the telephone line. This is accomplished by using fiber optic technology, converting electrical signals into light, passing this light information through a 4″ fiber gap and then reconstructing the light levels back into electrical signals. This allows the equipment to communicate with the telephone line without being connected to it. This isolator also regulates the current through your equipment. It provides a safe level of current flow through the equipment regardless of the current on the telephone line. There is no need to buy a current regulation device.

Dispatch software works with voice-over-IP
InfoLink from Catalyst Communications Technologies allows dispatch operators using any of Catalyst’s dispatch software products to automatically open files and applications that are closely associated with the dispatch operations. Because the dispatch software runs on standard Windows-based PC platforms, thousands of applications and file-oriented tools can now be used on the same desktop monitor that presents the dispatch application. The system addition enhances the company’s existing software for voice-over-IP, wide-area dispatch.

Transceiver offers 160-plus channels
Vertex Standard’s VXA-150 Pro V Air band transceiver offers a full 5W P.E.P. of transmit output power for reliability. The transceiver is rugged and water-resistant. It offers 160 channels, including all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies, 50 MR channels and 100 book channels. An eight-character alphanumeric, invertible LCD on top of the unit provides an indication of either the frequency, the channel number or an alphanumeric label. The transceiver also allows the user to directly enter the frequency from the 16-button backlit keypad. This reduces the need to store frequencies into memory before operating on them.

Dispatch system supports fire stations
Zetron’s model 6/26 fire station alerting system comprises two main components: the Model 6 fire station transponder and the Model 26 status/control panel. The Model 6 resides in the fire station and provides an audio interface to the station’s PA system, a data interface to the station printer and visual status indicators. The Model 26 resides in the dispatch center and provides buttons for dispatching, indicators to present status and a computer interface for automated dispatching. At the dispatch center, alerts are initiated with a single key press on the Model 26 or via command from a CAD host. The resultant data packet signaling the alert is transmitted to the designated fire station Model 6 in less than 1/10 of a second. On receipt, the alert is automatically acknowledged.
