---- **Core** - Is responsible for everything that is related to radio transmission and you can hear in DCS, be it TACAN beacons, Radio transmissions.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- ## Features:
--- 
---   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
---   * Provide beacon functionality to assist pilots.
---
--- The Radio contains 2 classes : RADIO and BEACON
---  
--- What are radio communications in DCS?
--- 
---   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
---   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
--- 
--- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
---   
---   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
---   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
---   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
---   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
---   
--- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
---   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.
---   
--- Note that obviously, the **frequency** and the **modulation** of the transmission are important only if the players are piloting an **Advanced System Modelling** enabled aircraft,
--- like the A10C or the Mirage 2000C. They will **hear the transmission** if they are tuned on the **right frequency and modulation** (and if they are close enough - more on that below).
--- If an FC3 aircraft is used, it will **hear every communication, whatever the frequency and the modulation** is set to. The same is true for TACAN beacons. If your aircraft isn't compatible,
--- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

---- Models the radio capability.
--- 
--- ## RADIO usage
--- 
--- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
--- 
---   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
---   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
---   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
---   
--- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
---   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
---   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
---   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
--- 
--- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
---   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
--- 
---   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
---   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
--- 
--- What is this power thing?
--- 
---   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
---   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
---   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
---   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
---   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
---   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

+--- **Sound** - Radio transmissions.
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Features:
+-- 
+--   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
+--  
+-- What are radio communications in DCS?
+-- 
+--   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
+--   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
+-- 
+-- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
+--   
+--   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
+--   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
+--   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
+--   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
+--   
+-- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
+--   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.

+-- 
+-- # RADIO usage
+-- 
+-- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
+-- 
+--   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
+--   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
+--   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
+--   
+-- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
+-- 
+-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
+-- 
+--   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
+--   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
+-- 
+-- What is this power thing?
+-- 
+--   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
+--   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
+--   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
+--   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
+--   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
+--   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

+-- # The MSRS Concept
+--
+-- This class allows to broadcast sound files or text via Simple Radio Standalone (SRS).
+-- 
+-- ## Prerequisites
+-- 
+-- This script needs SRS version >= 1.9.6.
+-- 
+-- # Play Sound Files
+-- 
+--     local soundfile=SOUNDFILE:New("My Soundfile.ogg", "D:\\Sounds For DCS")
+--     local msrs=MSRS:New("C:\\Path To SRS", 251, radio.modulation.AM)
+--     msrs:PlaySoundFile(soundfile)
+-- 
+-- # Play Text-To-Speech
+-- 
+-- Basic example:
+-- 
+--     -- Create a SOUNDTEXT object.
+--     local text=SOUNDTEXT:New("All Enemies destroyed")
+--     
+--     -- MOOSE SRS 
+--     local msrs=MSRS:New("D:\\DCS\\_SRS\\", 305, radio.modulation.AM)
+--
+--     -- Text-to speech with default voice after 2 seconds.
+--     msrs:PlaySoundText(text, 2)
+--
+-- ## Set Gender
+-- 
+-- Use a specific gender with the @{#MSRS.SetGender} function, e.g. `SetGender("male")` or `:SetGender("female")`.
+-- 
+-- ## Set Culture
+-- 
+-- Use a specific "culture" with the @{#MSRS.SetCulture} function, e.g. `:SetCulture("en-US")` or `:SetCulture("de-DE")`.
+-- 
+-- ## Set Voice
+-- 
+-- Use a specifc voice with the @{#MSRS.SetVoice} function, e.g, `:SetVoice("Microsoft Hedda Desktop")`.
+-- Note that this must be installed on your windows system.
+-- 
+-- ## Set Coordinate
+-- 
+-- Use @{#MSRS.SetCoordinate} to define the origin from where the transmission is broadcasted.
+--
+-- @field #MSRS

+  -- # The SOUNDFILE Concept
+  --   
+  -- A SOUNDFILE object hold the important properties that are necessary to play the sound file, e.g. its file name, path, duration.
+  -- 
+  -- It can be created with the @{#SOUNDFILE.New}(*FileName*, *Path*, *Duration*) function:
+  -- 
+  --     local soundfile=SOUNDFILE:New("My Soundfile.ogg", "Sound File/", 3.5)
+  -- 
+  -- ## SRS
+  -- 
+  -- If sound files are supposed to be played via SRS, you need to use the @{#SOUNDFILE.SetPlayWithSRS}() function.
+  -- 
+  -- # Location/Path
+  -- 
+  -- ## DCS
+  -- 
+  -- DCS can only play sound files that are located inside the mission (.miz) file. In particular, DCS cannot make use of files that are stored on
+  -- your hard drive.
+  -- 
+  -- The default location where sound files are stored in DCS is the directory "l10n/DEFAULT/". This is where sound files are placed, if they are
+  -- added via the mission editor (TRIGGERS-->ACTIONS-->SOUND TO ALL). Note however, that sound files which are not added with a trigger command,
+  -- will be deleted each time the mission is saved! Therefore, this directory is not ideal to be used especially if many sound files are to
+  -- be included since for each file a trigger action needs to be created. Which is cumbersome, to say the least.
+  -- 
+  -- The recommended way is to create a new folder inside the mission (.miz) file (a miz file is essentially zip file and can be opened, e.g., with 7-Zip)
+  -- and to place the sound files in there. Sound files in these folders are not wiped out by DCS on the next save.
+  -- 
+  -- ## SRS
+  -- 
+  -- SRS sound files need to be located on your local drive (not inside the miz). Therefore, you need to specify the full path.

+
+--- Simple Text-To-Speech
+--  
+-- Version 0.4 - Compatible with SRS version 1.9.6.0+
+-- 
+-- # DCS Modification Required
+-- 
+-- You will need to edit MissionScripting.lua in DCS World/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua and remove the sanitisation.
+-- To do this remove all the code below the comment - the line starts "local function sanitizeModule(name)"
+-- Do this without DCS running to allow mission scripts to use os functions.
+-- 
+-- *You WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY AFTER EVERY DCS UPDATE*
+-- 
+-- # USAGE:
+-- 
+-- Add this script into the mission as a DO SCRIPT or DO SCRIPT FROM FILE to initialise it
+-- Make sure to edit the STTS.SRS_PORT and STTS.DIRECTORY to the correct values before adding to the mission.
+-- Then its as simple as calling the correct function in LUA as a DO SCRIPT or in your own scripts.
+-- 
+-- Example calls:
+--
+--     STTS.TextToSpeech("Hello DCS WORLD","251","AM","1.0","SRS",2)
+-- 
+-- Arguments in order are:
+-- 
+--  * Message to say, make sure not to use a newline (\n) !
+--  * Frequency in MHz
+--  * Modulation - AM/FM
+--  * Volume - 1.0 max, 0.5 half
+--  * Name of the transmitter - ATC, RockFM etc
+--  * Coalition - 0 spectator, 1 red 2 blue
+--  * OPTIONAL - Vec3 Point i.e Unit.getByName("A UNIT"):getPoint() - needs Vec3 for Height! OR null if not needed
+--  * OPTIONAL - Speed -10 to +10
+--  * OPTIONAL - Gender male, female or neuter
+--  * OPTIONAL - Culture - en-US, en-GB etc
+--  * OPTIONAL - Voice - a specfic voice by name. Run DCS-SR-ExternalAudio.exe with --help to get the ones you can use on the command line
+--  * OPTIONAL - Google TTS - Switch to Google Text To Speech - Requires STTS.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS path and Google project setup correctly
+--
+--
+-- ## Example
+--
+-- This example will say the words "Hello DCS WORLD" on 251 MHz AM at maximum volume with a client called SRS and to the Blue coalition only
