PROTOTYPE SYSTEM FOR RADIO PATCHING IN A

In order to communicate with various agencies while in their cruisers police officers often need to use multiple radios. We outline an approach that has been developed as a Project54 application supporting the patching of multiple radios in a mobile environment such as a police cruiser. The proposed solution reduces the complexity of operating several radios at the same time by providing a common user interface to all the radios. Preliminary test results show proper system functionality with response times fast enough for operating radio press-to-talk buttons. 1
