[Feature Request] Include custom WAV file in firmware build for modifiable roger beep

Feature Request: include custom WAV file in firmware build for modifiable roger beep

Description: I would like to propose an enhancement to the firmware that streamlines the process of adding a customized roger beep sound to the radio. Currently, the roger beep is fixed, but adding the ability to include a custom WAV file for that during the build process would simplify the customization process and provide more flexibility.

Proposed Solution: Develop a comprehensive mod that includes the option to import a custom WAV file for the roger beep sound. During the firmware build process, the mod should automatically integrate the WAV file into the final firmware.

Benefits:

  • Streamlined customization: Users can easily include a personalized roger beep sound without dealing with complex configurations.
  • Unified solution: Instead of relying on separate mods for Python scripts and audio files, this feature would provide an all-in-one solution.
  • Increased accessibility: Users with varying levels of technical expertise can take advantage of the customization feature.

Example Use Case: A user who wants to create a personalized radio firmware can now simply select the desired Python mods and include a custom WAV file for the roger beep sound, all in one streamlined process.

I am excited about this proposed feature as it would significantly enhance the customization capabilities of the firmware. I am open to assisting in the development and testing of this feature if needed. Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Are you sure that the current beep sound is sampled audio.

IMO. Its unlikely that the firmware has space to store wave files, becuase the entire usable program ROM in this radio is 60k bytes, and curently AFIK there is only around 2k free for any additional source code

It is absolutely not storing WAV files. Sorry to disappoint.

Can you modify the MDC tone

The current tone is not like Motorola's MDC1200
