OK, I am convinced, unless the ATCO folks come along and point out a problem from their end I will certainly do what (very little I am afraid) I can to get real time instrumentation into the broadcast without incrementing the ATIS designator.
Funny thing about the synthesized voices the female ones are very poor compared to the male ones. The best one we have is a pseudo Australian male voice which is really quite good. Incidently, a stored library rather than synthesized voice is not hard to do and in many respects is better than the very best synthesized voices, in my opinion.
I would love for our little company to supply ATIS systems to US airports!
