XG-100P Voice Announcement

[Asunakiyori]

Hello all again. I'm wondering if I did this right.... So I got a cable to load in my VAs loaded in. But now I get Zone announce, Zone announce, then Channel every time. So example I'll use my FRS zone, I would enter the FRS Zone, so it would go "FRS....FRS... CHANNEL 1" if I move channels to say Ch 3"FRS...FRS... Channel 3" Should It be announcing the zone name twice?

Back again since no one answered. I tried loading in more files.. and now a strange occurrence happens. the files are loaded in. set right. But i get 0 announcement now even with VA enabled. and Random reboots Any thoughts on the cause?

Here's a manual addendum on the use of voice files that may help.

Is your configuration compliant with the parameters specified by Harris?

AUDIO FILES Voice Annunciation supports both pre-recorded (provided with RPM/RPM2) and user-recorded messages. These files must meet the following specifications: • .ilbc 16 bit, 8 KHz sample rate or .wav 16 bit • 8 KHz sample rate format NOTE RPM/RPM2 automatically converts .wav files to .ilbc files. This process is invisible to the user. • Contains no more than three (3) seconds of audio.

Yes, they are, as Moto uses the same wav parameters but up to 2 seconds, I was able to previously use those successfully, but when I added some additional that's when suddenly ALL voice announcements stopped working even the old ones which i have in the past confirmed worked and were already in the unit

VA is buggy, as with many other things, on the XG-100P.

No need to re-boot the radio. Just re-select your VA configuration file for your mission plan in RPM, under VA Configuration, then save the mission plan and reprogram the radio with the mission plan.

I did that like 3 times. VA was silent. But it seems like every time I add or remove 1 file it goes haywire and all of them just go NOPE

Did you load the Audio Config File into RPM, under the Voice Annunciation Configuration dropdown, and select every voice file and then save the file and click Done?

I loaded it, i added the new VA's i saved it.. i clicked done i assigned the new VA's I added the new files right to the radio and reprogrammed the mission plan due to the changes... and thats when all VA's go HA HA na bruv and i lose even the originally programmed VA's

Did you save the mission plan after clicking done and then close the mission plan, then open it again and then load the mission plan into the radio? Or did you just make the changes, save, click done, and then go straight to loading the mission plan? Like I said, VA is buggy.

OK.. i know this is an old thread.. but i finally got it working the right way.... Load the new audio in the VA mgmt.. then go back to va settings on the mission plan... reload the newly saved file...
