A followup to my previous post. Includes the alerts seen there, but also includes IPAWS/CAP Civil Danger Warnings issued by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, along with CBS Radio News updates. Note: because of how my station fetches the news information, my news updates are an hour behind.

As for mock-up alurts, it doesn’t matter which one.
I use a Digital Alert Systems DASDEC-II model DASTVR from 2012. It originally came from KOCE-TV in Orange county, California, and I got it on eBay.
witch indec do you use for your radio station?
What kind of a mockup alert would you want me to do?
Yes, can you please do that?
Well again I don’t have access to alert origination systems, and I don’t have a Gorman CAPDEC. I can do mockups of alerts, if that’s what you’re asking.
Nice. Could you please make a blog poast with one useing Microsoft David sometime?
Not sure what system they use, but yeah I think it’s just SAPI 5.
Funnily enough, Gorman-Redlich made a CAP to EAS converter box called the CAPDEC, it’s a piece of shit but it’s literally just a Windows 7 / Windows 10 computer in a rackmount box. I’d like to get one to screw around with, swap out the voice on it and have Microsoft Sam or DECtalk reading out some alerts, maybe even get ScanSoft Tom on there. They’re worthless though.
oh so in short, they use those encoders that support sapi5?, man if I could, I would hijack one of those with the acapela nawfal arabic voice
Alerts through FEMA’s IPAWS/CAP can either rely on the encoder itself to generate TTS audio or they can include pre-generated audio as an attachment. HaWAII AND MANY OTHER AREAS USE mICROSOFT dAVID AS THE VOICE OF THEIR ALERTS. iN FAIRNESS, dAVID IS ONE OF THOSE VOICES THAT EVEN IF THE RECEPTION OF THE RADIO BROADCAST IS HORRIBLE, THE MESSAGE CAN STILL BE UNDERSTOOD.
Oh no, not an earth quake! These people sound like they are going through some hard times.
they seriously use microsoft david?, sheesh
