Multicomp is the Farnell / CPC / Newark / Element 14 'house brand'. You should be able to get Multicomp branded items from Newark in North America.
My experience is that Multicomp parts are fairly generic and sourced from lower cost Asian manufacturers. You should be able to find a branded (but
higher cost) equivalent locally.

Why don't you use CTCSS (aka 'tone squelch') tones for the tally signals? Further information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTCSS
It would be easy to add this signal to the bus and for each receiver to detect their pre-set frequency and put a light on. Good selection
of boards, modules and chips to do this are available.... Don't use near multiples of 50Hz (or 60Hz if relevant to you) because the
system will be too easily fooled by mains interference.

Thank you. The parts list now makes more sense.

Any chance of a corresponding schematic drawing to go with the published parts list?
Thanks

Hi
I had a look and listen at your video. You will always get a single 'thump' on the audio when the call button is operated/released. Multiple thumps as shown on your video is wrong. Do you have the audio line termination components fitted at the power supply end? Is your power supply adequate? If your power supply is marginal, it may be going into current limit and the output voltage dropping when the call button is operated. This is much more likely if you are using a switch mode power supply (which the background whine suggests you are). Try a different power supply.
