computer's Documents folder (this applies to both Windows and Mac versions). New sounds, or sounds that

you wish to install into the Patriot, should be saved in the Documents -> FOXPRO -> Sounds folder for easy

access—consider this folder the location of your sound library. You can save new sounds to an alternate

location, if you wish, and use the "Browse Library" (Windows) or "Browse" (Mac) to navigate to that

location.

Overview on Programming New Sounds:

Connect the Patriot to your computer.

Launch the programming utility.

If you do not see your new sounds under the "Source Sound Files" column, use the "Browse

Library" or "Browse" button to navigate to the correct location. When the appropriate files are

found, double-click on any of the sounds to automatically load all files from that location into the

"Source Sound Files" column.

Select one, multiple, or all sound files in the "Source Sound Files" column.

Click on the position you wish to load the sounds into on the "Caller Sound Files" column and

click "Insert." We recommend adding all new sounds at the end of the existing list so that you

can preserve the category assignments. If you insert sounds elsewhere, be advised that you will

need to closely examine your category assignments to make any needed corrections.

When complete, Windows users must click on the "Update Caller" button to save your changes.

Mac users will not have an "Update Caller" button as the sounds are inserted in real time.

Next, click on the "Edit Categories" button to launch the category editor. The category editor

features two columns. The column on the left features all sounds in your game call. The column

on the right shows all of the categories along with the sounds featured in each category. Locate

the new sounds on the left column. Windows users must drag the new sounds (either one at a

time or all at once) from the column on the left and drop them into the desired category on the

right. Mac users will highlight one or all of the new sounds, click on the desired category, and

then click "Insert Selected." After the categories have been setup, click "Save and Done" or "Save

and Exit" to close the category editor.

Finally, exit the utility and update your transmitter playlist following the instructions in section 6-

Additional Programming Notes/Tips

The key to understanding how sound programming works is by understanding how the sound files are

stored inside of the Patriot. The Patriot features a micro SD memory card that stores all of the sounds. By

connecting the Patriot to your computer and navigating to it, you will be able to see all of the individual

sound files. Take particular note to how the files are arranged. You should see something similar to the

following example:

000 Coyote Pup Distress 3.fxp

001 Coy Fem Sore Howls.fxp

002 Coy Fem Whimpers.fxp

Note that each sound file is prefixed with a three digit number. That three digit number defines the

sound's position within the scope of your playlist. The Patriot can store up to 300 sounds, which means that

valid prefix values span from 000 – 299. The list of sounds must be contiguous (no skipped numbers). In

addition, the list cannot contain any duplicated numbers. If discrepancies exist within the playlist, the TX433

playlist transfer will likely fail. When troubleshooting any failed TX433 playlist transfers, always double-

check the sound programming for errors as this is the usual culprit.

Categories are established based upon the prefix value. This means that if you change sound "000 Coyote

Pup Distress 3" to "000 Lightning Jack", the "Coyote Vocals" category still has reference to 000, which is now

a rabbit sound. You will need to modify the categories to ensure they are set up properly.

Only install compatible file types. As mentioned previously, the Patriot is capable of operating with

FOXPRO's proprietary file types FXP and 16B, MP3 files, and uncompressed WAV files. The Patriot does not

support MP4, WMA, or other file types. Incompatible files must be converted into a compatible file type in
