In addition to having responsibility for the Capital Region’s public safety infrastructure 24/7, CREST’s talented engineers are always looking at ways to improve service and make the lives of their user agencies a little easier. One of the dispatchers at SICC (Police Dispatch) operates from a wheelchair which can make using some of the critical tools, like foot pedals that control push to talk (PTT) a bit challenging. Learning of this, CREST engineers designed an interface circuit that works with a desk microphone assembly to provide a desktop PTT button that is easy for this individual to operate. The response was a happy one.
“It is FABULOUS, I LOVE it! It is nice and clear, no feedback and makes my job much easier”
