P25 System Options?

[SKYNET156]

I am just wondering a few things about Conventional P25 Systems,

With a conventional P25 system, can the emergency button feature be used?
And how does the emergency button work and what does the dispatcher see when this button is activated via a portable?

Also with a P25 Conventional system, is there any kind of GPS Portable tracking?

I am also wondering, are there any modern dispatch consoles that work like the Centracom II or above? i am talking about a stand alone console and not the computer type console.

Yes.
What is displayed (or other functions) is dependant on the manufacturer and the system design, not the standard.
The standard only deals with how the message is handled over the air. (What bits make up what messages)

Also with a P25 Conventional system, is there any kind of GPS Portable tracking?

GPS, location and tracking is not in the standard.
GPS data for location and tracing (AVL) is sent by using the data communications features, and yes data can be sent in conventional mode.

I am also wondering, are there any modern dispatch consoles that work like the Centracom II or above? i am talking about a stand alone console and not the computer type console.

Yes, but most are custom to the application.
Almost everything has moved to computer based display systems.
