@Zbizzle911 thank you for that. what is the advantage of the, "robo" PURVIS dispatch? It seems difficult to understand.

There are many advantages of this new system. here's a list in no particular order
1.) The volume and voice is always the same. So you don't have to worry if the mic is far away or real close to the dispatchers mouth. With the voice being the same all the time you don't have to worry about someone having a different dialect or being sick affecting their voice or your understanding of them.
2.) They can dispatch several different calls at one time. Before the dispatcher had to triage the calls and dispatch them accordingly. Now purvis can dispatch several calls at the same time because it is an IP based system.
3.) It frees up the dispatchers to be able to be more attentive to the other talk groups and not having to worry about getting a call out.
4.) The alerting system in the station is much more gentle than the old bell and bright lights that I'm sure took years off my life by scaring me lol . The new system has red LED lights that come on at night some its more gentle and a tone that ramps up slowly. It doesn't get my heart racing like the old one.
Im sure there are more but these stick out to me. I really like the system over the old way.
