RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Announcements from a PC...
Dave, Randy, and all. I know it's been a while since I first responded about this. It has taken me a while to reach out for the originator of the program, and he in turn referred me to the user of it. To sum it up, I am not able to offer it. The writer was all for it, but because of his work obligations, he cannot support it in any way, shape or form. He didn't have the code anymore and thus referred me to the user. I reached out for him and was also rebuffed. He wanted no part of it at all. If things change in the future I can revisit this, but for now I apologize that I cannot be of any further assistance. Sorry all. Mark - N9WYS From: David Murman Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 8:01 PM To: Mark Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Announcements from a PC... Mark, I would like that info also and how they hooked it up to the controller. I maintain the KLUB repeaters here in Plano and definitely interested.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Announcements from a PC...
I've never used it, but friends of mine have had problems with Echostation hanging and having other Microsoft-type problems. Before you go making time and money investments into PC hardware please look at digital-voice-capable repeater controllers. There are several manufacturers that make digital-voice-capable repeater controllers - i.e. units that can play a "digital tape recording" in addition to messages assembled from the existing digital vocabulary. I'm more familiar with the Scom series of controllers, and in fact have a 5K, a 7K and a 7330 on line. The 7K has a darned good audio board (the Vyex DAB), but it does not have a DVR. The version 1.3 firmware for the 7330 (new as of September 4) supports the DVR hardware that can store up to 9.9 minutes of digital recordings. Plus it has it's own male voice (which sounds surprisingly good) and a large built-in vocabulary that does not take away from the 9.9 minutes.
