• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Can anyone suggest a website that they use to generate the voice announcement WAV files for the APX CPS? I am looking for something that would allow me to create and download WAV files that are in the right format to be converted directly to Motorola VA format as shown below.

Required settings:
8,000 HZ
16 bit mono

I want to avoid having to convert MP3 files to WAV with Audacity because the directions I found to do so did not work. I don't mind paying for a reasonable subscription. Previously I tried the Speech2Go application but the trial has since expired and I don't want to pay $100+ for a license since I will just be adding/editing ther occasional voice channel.

For anyone looking for the tutorials that I used here is the links to the two tutorials on YouTube I followed.

Thank you for the suggestions. I ended up going with this program

Balabolka

It is a Windows program that is free and also has a Portable version. It worked well for create WAV files. I was able to set the proper format for the Motorola converter (8,000 HZ and 16 bit mono).

I used this software for creating voice files for my programming project. Pretty easy to do once I got the settings right.
