What does the Q446 Channel announcement mean?
-
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.

Channel Announcement
You can record a small wav file that gets converted into a motorola format, so that when the channel in the radio is changed, if there was voice recorded and associated with that channel, the radio will
say this file. I have also used the AT&T demo program that makes voice files at:
AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech: Demo
although this page wasn't answering up at the moment. Read the help file on voice announcement before you start, as you have to have size and sample requirements to your voice files.

I have also used AT&T Voice Labs to create sound files for a bunch of channels. Some of our radios are programmed with it and some aren't. The Chief wanted to try it before doing the whole department to see if he liked it or not.
Personally, I can't stand it... you're supposed to talk into a radio... you're radio isn't supposed to talk to you. It does have it's place though.
