I believe all Delta Connection carriers have Delta Radio access.

Unless they’ve improved it, ARINC was better

I prefer ARINC by quite a large margin for lack of push to talk interface.

Is it like a relay service with a ARINC operator being the go between? IIRC a push to talk interface is required for all radio comms.

There's an operator but you talk directly to the pilot. But you can have the operator patch in someone if needed as well. The operator just sits and listens. It's just like talking on the phone with Arinc. with Delta Radio, it's a push to talk star to talk, pound to listen type thing which is trickier and if im dealing with an inflight situation, i'd rather focus on just talking and listening and not having to press buttons and having to think about which buttons you're pressing. Hope that makes sense.

Yeah, you must be using a different system than what mainline uses because we do it the first way, not using that stupid hand mic on the FO side of the RJ. And we use “Atlanta Radio,” not delta radio.

Yeah it's called Atlanta Radio, i always forget myself and call it Delta radio.

I’m not too sure what this * and # you’re talking about. We just call on the appropriate VHF frequency, ask for the dispatch desk, and if we want MTC control on the call. Then it’s just using the PTT like talking to ATC.

I'm sure you guys just push to talk in the air, we have to press star and pound on our phones in the office.

Some phones have the button you press to talk. Those are dedicated radio phones usually. Atlanta radio uses the * and # on a normal phone with an actual phone number. ARINC has the operator switch between talk and listen for you.

Desks that don't have a Zetron phone system, like the duty pilot, will have use * and # on the phone's dial-pad to transmit and receive when being patched into a radio line. DX and MTC use PTT on either their handset or a headset, depending on preference. It's usually easier and less cumbersome to get one of those guys over to an empty desk nearby and use the Zetron over a 'normal' phone.

Im guessing by Zetron phone you mean this thing circled in red?

If that in the picture is a Zetron, then yes. Mine has a completely different layout, but the concept is the same.

Maybe a Endeavor person can confirm.

That on the right is the avtec.

Thanks.

I hardly know how my phone works, let alone yours.

I'm pretty handy with the transfer button. Still getting the hang of the rest of it.

@Autosave, when you guys need radio patches do you have to call ATL radio or do you have your own radio source?

We call or they call us.

 

[A1TAPE]

So does only EDV use ATL radio or can any regional that runs DL tails use it (OO, EV, G7)?
