I recently acquired the Zetron Model 27 board, without connectors..,after reading the above posts on 12 pin plug types, I was hoping someone might have the correct source where these could be obtained (possibly a link with correct plugs).

Check the Model 27 manual (pretty sure there's a copy on RepeaterBuilder). There should be a part number in that.

You Need THREE (3) 8-Pin (8 Pole) Pitch 5.08mm Right Angle Screw Terminal Block Pluggable Connector
Amazon shows them as out of stock, Unavailable.
Try other sources.
Would these also be called pheonix connectors or are they different?

I notice on the back panel some connections that say "CHANNEL X - BUSY". Are those inputs or outputs ?

We've been using Wohler WOH-VMQ-4s at work, but this is a much better solution!

That's our in-house ClearComm Matrix Core intercom / party line system. We use it to communicate within the building, and have it interfaced to our analog and digital trunking system to speak with people in the field.

Works just like a dispatch console.

I'm currently at work, so here's a better shot of it.

Each source has its own volume adjustment. You can listen to as many or as few sources as you want by clicking the volume knob on each source. Talking is done via the pink button.

There's a grab bag of sources on my panel, as I use it to speak with people in the building, people in other states, cue live reporters in the field, and communicate with our helicopters. If someone initiates a private call with me, their user ID will pop up in the bottom left display. I have a 10 second window to reply to them before it goes away.

We just upgraded our control room, so we're in this smaller one for a few months. Here's my "desk"

And the whole room
