I have a radio set up to receive alarms from a script block via TCP/IP and announce them using text to speech. The problem is that if multiple alarms arrive within a short period the radio drops them and won't announce them. Is there any way to create a queue for alarms? I'm considering using a dataset to create a buffer and Gateway Events to read alarms from the dataset periodically.

Have you figured out a way to handle this? I have a similar issue but luckily the playback of alarms plays the wav files like a fifo when using vision client. The issue is when I am using perspective. It will stop the audio once another alarm comes over.

Hey, I think I ended up using a dataset to make a sort of buffer for the messages. This was then read by a Gateway script which handled sending out the messages. Sorry it's been a while, not sure on the specifics but that's the general idea!
