<div>Ron,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am not familiar with Dispatch software. In fact, I have yet to get my feet wet with Asterisk. However, after doing a quick search upon considering your email, I think I now know which OS / Version / GUI I am going to start with.<br>
</div>
<div>Xelatec has an open-source product, with a windows client:</div>

<div>Hello all!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How many of you are familiar with the M Centracom Gold Elite dispatch console? or the MCC-7500 Series Digital Console ?</div>
<div>Basically the "Gold Elite" system is a big switch with some rather unique features when employed in a Trunking System... However Ham Radio is obviously conventional radio and I believe that the stuff we are playing with can be adapted to serve as a Dispatch Console talking to, cross patching with many or few Nodes (Conventional Resources). I am looking at creating a GUI that is operationally setup with config files similar to a DialPlan script. The new thin client looks very promising for this! Plus they are cheap! I talked with Micro Node today and got good vibes from Mark.<br>
</div>
<div>At any rate, a thin client card can be tied to a mic, speaker and a footswitch. My concept calls for clicking an ICON on a screen, this action will automatically connect to the Node represented by by that ICON, when the footswitch is pressed, it initiates a transmission to that Node. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is all rudimentry thinking at this point.... but the flexiblitly of Asterisk and Allstar Link could make this a very doable thing!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have been playing with this for only a few days, and I am impressed, pumped up and cant believe how this is such a powerfull system!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If anyone has thoughts, ideas or has already done it, feel free to give me a jingle!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I deal alot with 911 Dispatch Centers on a daily basis....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Those systems are very expensive when purchased new, overly expensive used and complicated, very hardware intensive and run on MS Operating Systems.... total turn off!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is a home grown solution that will cost a fraction at the most of a full commerical system from the M company.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone interested?</div>
