1.7.2.1 WAIS Controller Dispatch Capabilities with DSP-3
The new WAIS Controller 2 has an additional capability that uses the PC's sound card to let an
operator communicate with system end-users via DSP-3 modules. Any radio interfaced with a
DSP-3 is available for direct communication with the Controller and appears, along with any
interconnected modules, in a special screen called the Dispatch View (see Figure 1-8 below).
The operator can either monitor or select (form a two-way conversation with) a DSP-3 and in
either case has the option of including any other modules that are connected to the DSP-3.
Multiple DSP-3s can be monitored and/or selected simultaneously, the number limited only by
network bandwidth. When talking to dispatch modules, the operator has several choices for
activating TX mode, including a footswitch.
