Visiting Amarillo and programmed the trunking system and getting VERY RANDOM prerecorded messages. So far I've recorded about 8 of them. There is a man's voice and also a woman's voice. Some of the messages are: "The soft cushion broke the man's fall." "The junkyard had a moldy smell".The TGs are 20001 and 20002. Has anyone else programmed the Amarillo system yet? I' m going to be here several days so I will be doing further listening.

Probably a new system and/or they're doing testing. I've heard live voices(in the Dallas/Fort Worth area) reading passages from books, and then usually someone reports back how it sounded. This maybe a new automated way of doing testing.
Bingo, That is what is being transmitted.Guess it is better than a 10 count.

KevinC beat me to it, Hardvard sentences. They are phonetically balanced to test communications links.
My personal favorite test phrase used was, "And I will strike down upon thee, with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." The comedic value was not lost when I heard that one.

New Talk groups
Was in Amarillo this last Friday and in conversation with my stepson who works for AFD he said they were told that July 11 will be the cutover date for the new trunking system. He noted that some supervisors have been using the system checking coverage. It will not be just one or two departments they were told it will be a total city wide communications cut over.
Potter County will follow later and there is talk that Randall County will join the system at a later date.
While there I had a chance to hookup the scanner and logged the following Talk Groups
20100
20101This one sounded like ground crews testing as well as regular work
20102 Heard what sounded like APD traffic on this one license checks
20103
20106 looked like data transmissions of some sort
20127
20128

I'm having trouble monitoring the new system. I programmed what was listed in the database but haven't heard a peep. Can anyone help me with this? Maybe send me the file?
I'm not in the area, so can't help you with a known working file. But anyone in your area would need to know which scanner model you have, to see if one of their files could help you. Which model scanner are you using?
I have 3 scanners, a PRO-197 - TWO BCD996XTS AND A BCD536HP
