This article describes how to set up analog radio integration in Exigo.
Exigo can be integrated with analog radio solutions by using control outputs and control inputs.

Audio from Exigo to Radio using ESC1

Audio from Exigo can be sent out on a radio. The radio will then be a special zone which are only used for radio.

Wiring

The diagram shows wiring from the ESC1 System Controller to a GM360 radio. The same principle can be used for radios from other manufacturers.
Other Exigo devices such as kits can be used instead of the ESC1 when necessary. This is especially useful when the radio is located far from the ESC1 System Controller.

Configuration

Radio integration in Exigo is the same as for any other analog audio integration.

To configure radio integration in EMT:

1. Assign the line output to a zone. No other audio channels need to be part of this zone

2. Program Audio Activity on the control output that is used.
2a. In the Zone field, select the zone that contains the line output.
2b. Set the Priority Range to 1-100.

All audio sent to the radio zone will now trigger the control output that will key the radio.
