My department has the Kenwood NX 5300 I program the radios we are trying to figure out how to set up the audio voice announcement for every channel when we change channels it announces what channel it is on? Anything will help.

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.

You can use the "Standard" names "Zone One", "Channel One" by going into KPG-D1N, Optional Features, Optional Features-1, Voice Announcement, and find the section for Voice Announcement Type. Change drop-down box from None to Standard. Then just below that, put a check in the box for "Zone-Channel Guide". That should turn on the standard voice labels for Zones/Channels. If you want to make your own custom names for Zones and Channels, that requires using a microphone to make a voice clip file for each Zone & Channel name and storing them in the Audio Library section (Under TOOLS menu), then going back into the Voice Announcement Type drop-down box and choosing "User Programmable" instead of "Standard". You'll have to go edit each Zone (Zone Edit) and Channel to link each to its respective voice clip file. I think that's it. Good luck.
Thank you so much for the help
