    Not sure what effects you are running?

    I have Wave Arts and they have it already set for you. But the "poor man's" way to do it is just send your vocal track to a bus and assign and graphic EQ to it (which I'm sure you have.) Then, defeat all the low end, leave the 1K KHZ (at 0db approx) and defeat the high end. That should get you in the area of radio voice.

    Doesn't the Sonitus (or Cakewalk) EQ have a preset called "Radio"?

    Sonitus has "Telephone".

    Kjaerhus Classic EQ (also a freebie) has a "Radio" preset. [Basically it has peaks at 630Hz & 2kHz, with strong cuts everywhere else.]

    Get a megaphone and mic it. Or some walkie takies and mic it. Or the best way would to use EQ a little distortion and some tape saturation.

    Bandpass -> Compressor -> Distortion -> Bandpass

    Like mentioned before, using a combination of highpass (~400-500 Hz) and lowpass (~2 kHz) will work. One instance of Sonitus EQ will work great for this. Expeiment with the cutoff frequency and the Q as well.

    The Compressor settings recommended are fine, but you can experiment with ratios here too. The distortion will add that certain lo-fi quality that screams of cheapness. You don't need a lot, but again, season to taste. Any fuzzbox plugin will work here, but you may find some that work for you better than others...

    The final bandpass is to constrict the broadband junk that the distortion adds. You'll like how incredibly (realistically?) lo-fi this sounds. Basically, the first bandpass models the lo-fi microphone, and the second bandpass models the lo-fi speaker (and/or earpiece, depending on if you're emulating a radio, telephone, or megaphone).

    Have fun!

    Do any one of these and maybe boost the mids and cut the rest too.
