GAI-Tronics DC Remote alternates?

[SWOLH]

We were looking support a local manufacturing plant that has several of these DC Remotes utilized in control rooms and lunch rooms. Their old DC Remotes need replacing, and I see that GAI-Tronics stopped making the IDR1000.

I know it's old technology, but is there anyone making a DC remote deskset?
Thanks for any advice. I'm trying to avoid a tear-out and rebuild, if possible.

For some reason, IDA was still making one but they don't appear to be making one any longer.

Swap them to tone remotes or IP remotes.......... TT

That's the plan, if DC remotes don't exist any longer...looking at the price of Tone Remotes and adapters... wow!

I just had to swap out a hospital PBX because DC remotes can't be obtained any more.

CPI was a source of reasonable priced remotes. Alas they went belly up.

Off the top of my head Gaitronics, IDA, Zetron, Midian. Prepare for sticker shock.

I have replaced many older DC units (and CPI tone remotes) with Zetron gear, but....full disclosure, once worked for them for a few years. Never looked back either, many of their products are still in production decades later.

Even though they are part of Codan now. I now have over fifty cities and their related radios connected via Zetron 6301/6302 IP remotes. Works for Motorola P25 and Trbo series radios, but works with many others as well. Dedicated radio model specific versions are known as "intelligent Radio Interface Modules" (iRIM), but the "generic" 630x works for my systems.

Late to the Party here. But a Telex IP-224 and the IP-2002 if you can find it or the new IP-3002 make a great replacement set.
