My FX3 isn't here yet, but as I understand it, its a simple drag and drop from your PC. Just rename the file with the number for the position you want it in.

Ducksoup,
The only way to put sounds on the FX3 is with a computer. If you have sounds on an MP3 or cd player, you need to record them to your computer first, save them as a .wav or .mp3 file, and then install them on the FX3. It will be as easy as dragging and dropping sounds, and renaming the sound with your desired sound number at the beginning. Here is the section on changing sounds from our instruction manual:
Changing Sounds in your FX3
Your caller came from the factory with 32 sounds programmed in its memory. We understand that your needs and wants can change from time to time, so far as calling sounds are concerned. For this reason, we have incorporated into the FX3 the ability for you to change these sounds with the use of a personal computer running a Windows operating system version 98SE or later, or a Macintosh computer with an operating system of 9.X or later. A USB port is also required. This process is very much like reprogramming one of the many popular MP3 portable music players. To gain access to the FX3’s USB port, open the battery door and remove the battery tray or pack.
The USB connector is visible when the batteries are removed. Make certain that the FX3s power switch is turned off. Connect the USB cable between this connector and the computer’s USB port. See figure 5. When connected, the FX3 will be recognized as a removable drive. Open the FX3 drive as a folder to view the files. If your operating system uses Windows 98SE, you will need to download and install the USB mass storage driver. This driver is available from the Foxpro website, www.gofoxpro.com. Check the Foxpro website for more information. When changing sounds, you must pay strict attention to the file naming requirements as this determines the play sequence and sound number. This will require that you change the file name in most instances. All of the sound file names must begin with a 3 digit number. This 3 digit number (000 through 031) sets the sound play order. The rest of the file name is optional. IMPORTANT NOTE: The FX3 will NOT play sounds with the “.wma” suffix. You must first convert these files to .wav or .mp3 for use with the FX3. Although you may store .FXP sounds on your computer for later use, they cannot be played on your computer, or on any audio player other than a Foxpro device. See figure 6 for a representative play list. We recommend that you save your files to a desktop folder before attempting to add, remove, or change the order of your play list.
As an aid to you in changing the sounds on your FX3, and to make the task of printing new sound labels for both the FX3 and the transmitter much easier, a programming utility is available for download from the Foxpro website at www.gofoxpro.com.
I hope this helps!

Question Mike, NO, not about my DEAD DOG,
Have you given any thought to converting all your sounds to your new "FXP" file name, putting them out for sale on CD?
That way you would be pretty much assured they would only be used on a FOXPRO.
Thanks
