Used is false economy. You end with someone elses problems and high maintenance costs as well as downtime which is a bad thing for an ambulance company. The 4010 is a nice reliable system, much simpler than the RoIP stuff but not nearly as versatile. The nice part of RoIP is that by using internet connectivity, you can have it loaded on a laptop and set up dispatch anywhere there is an internet connection in the world.

The ambulance company i work for, we are thinking perhaps of putting in a dispatch console, we're so busy with calls, that it makes more sense, and we wanna do some more things. We're gonna have 3, possibly 4 channels. I was thinking perhaps a zetron 4010, but perhaps someone has another idea. Remember, we're dealing with dumb dispatchers, so simple is the name of the game, buttons no mouse to key the moc. I'm a big fan of the kiss theory, keep it simple stupid. We may possibly send off 2 tones on one of our channels. Any thoughts? My thought was perhaps to look for a used console, not sure what these consoles go for new. Any ideas?
