Former fire station CCS - country communication system
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2021 7:36 pm
Hi all,
Does anyone have any on air recordings of when the country fire station used to use a CCS - Country communication system, that would make automated announcements over a LOW VHF simplex frequency installed at most of these outer metro stations?
I remember these systems could perform a number of remote control functions by sending a DTMF over the radio from the fire appliances, such as sounding the town siren on the station building, or dialing back to FESA's comm center.
When a 000 call would come through the CCS box at the station would transmit a pre-recorded female voice saying "Attention attention! Emergency call! " over the station frequency.
Would be interested to hear form anyone who knows anything about these older systems, who built them or if anyone has any old photos of one.
Thanks
