Re: SPI announcement sound files

["Jonathan Boles" <mousewithglasses@NO.CANNED.HAM.hotmail.com>]

Replaced again? They were replaced by much slower and clearer announcemetns
early this year, but are they being replaced by even slower ones??!!! 

BTW, what does 'DVA' stand for? is it 'digital voice announcement' or
something.

BTWagain, what 'sets up' the announcement. are the names and generic words
('first stop', 'via', 'all stations to') generated 'on the fly' by a
computer then played out, or is there a recording for each and every
combination of stopping stations?
