IDAS™ Remote Communicator

*The above screen image is a simulated picture which may look different from the final products.

The RC-FS10 Remote Communicator The RC-FS10 Remote Communicator creates an IP-connected virtual radio(dispatcher) on a Windows PC which may be located anywhere an appropriate IP connection is available.Up to eight virtual radios can be IP-connected to a repeater. The RC-FS10 consists of the CT-24 USB VOCODER unit and a virtual radio Windows PC software.The CT-24 has an ESN which can be used for identification of a unit. The PC software will not work if the CT-24 is not connected. The CT-23 desktop microphone adapter for SM-25. (Option)

Application Examples

Remote Base/Remote Dispatch in Base Mode

Operation:• The uplinked voice from a terminal radio will not be repeated but sent only to the assigned virtual radio / dispatcher via IP.

• Uplink from the virtual radio /dispatcher will be down-linked from all of the repeaters.

• This mode can be used in cases where communications between terminals is not intended.

Benefits:• Saves the unnecessary transmission / power consumption by disabling the repeat function

• Secure communication with the dispatcher from a terminal radio• The dispatcher can control the entire communication
