Foxpro Spitfire question

Mainehunt · Guru

I have a Spitfire but have never tried adding or deleting sounds to it.

Somewhere in my memory I remember something about being able to buy additional sound card for the Spitfire for around $30. No idea if this is correct or not though.

You can buy the new card but it has to have 24 sounds on it or the remote will not recognize any of them. The remote needs to be reprogrammed as well as the speaker unit. When you have a Mac there is a whole re-naming process as well to make the sounds compatible. This is just outside my comfort zone with the Mac.

Here's a page for FoxPro where you can get Accessories for the Spitfire.

Blank memory cards are $14.95

If I understand it correctly, you need to have a "Memory Card Reader/Writer and Playlist Transfer Cable" in order to do what you're talking about. If this is right, you can buy this for $15

I hope I helped a little.

You helped a lot. Thanks. I just bought the reader from staples and the patch cable. Now I'm going to try the new sounds. Thanks again.

Ba24,

Here is what Foxpro (Pennsylvania company, Oh yeah!) told me when I asked about putting sounds from a CD on to my Spitfire. I haven't done it..but it sounds pretty straight forward:

If the CD you have is a standard audio CD, you can extract the audio into MP3 files on your PC by using a program such as CDEx (http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/). Once you have the MP3 files on your hard drive, then it becomes a matter of loading those sounds into your memory card.

"The memory card is located behind the back door on the Spitfire housing. It resides in a push-pull socket. Push in the card to release and then pull it out. The card can then be inserted into a standard USB micro SD card reader and connected to your PC. Once connected to your PC, it will be assigned a drive letter and accessed like any memory card or USB flash drive. You can use the software on our website for transferring your new sounds to the memory card or you can load the sounds manually. Once the sounds are in the unit, you then must transfer the new play-list to the TX-24 remote. The update is completed by using a 3.5mm stereo patch cable between the TX-24 side jack and auxiliary jack on the Spitfire.

If you need assistance programming, you are more than welcome to give us a call at 717-248-2507 and we can gladly give you a hand."
