Five Motorola MC2500 Deskset Controllers.
A ‘quick call’ system that allows a Deskset Controller, via a 3 digit code, to alert a mobile radio and honk the vehicle’s horn. This feature is part of CWLP’s emergency response plan and must be maintained in some form. This system was last upgraded when the FCC required all operators to narrow band their systems. The current system has a couple of areas with less than ideal coverage. Coverage areas will be addressed in the next section.
