I am in the process of upgrading a centracom 2+ to gold elite. One thing I can't seem to figure out is on the 2+ the ops are using a three button mouse so that the center button is your selected channel Key and then the left button is the unselected channel tx so one dispatcher can keep sheriff selected and the other keep fire selected but if one is busy they can use the other channel unselected but still talk on it by moving the ouse to that channel and left clicking, can this be done on gold elite so far i can't seem to get it to key unless the mouse is over the ligthing bolt picture on the channel they want to talk on

The Series II CRT used a three button mouse under DOS. As you note, two of the buttons are for transmit. The center button is general transmit and the right button is instant transmit.

Since Windows does not support the three button mouse - the General transmit function was added to the front panel of the CIE.

You can still transmit on two resources at once by using the General transmit bar on the CIE [or your footswitch] to key the currently selected resource and use the mouse to click the lnstant transmit lightning bolt on the unselected resource.

You can also use multi-select to allow the two resources to be keyed at the same time. Multi-select will also put the select audio from two [or more] resources into the select speaker or your headset earpiece but does not bridge the two resources together the way patch does.
