I like this better than the EAS. I think the voice is a better sound.
-
@indylre I ment the sound.

@OnyxRocker 1997 was the year every station got it. 1994 was the year the first station got it, and by 1996, half of them did. 1997 was when the government made it a requirement, I believe.

when did this change to eas? i was two when this came up
-
@WhiskasIII this was the EBS which was the system before the EAS. The EBS only had the 2-tone attention signal. The EAS has the digital SAME headers.

@ThePhantomSafetyPin That's a weekly test. Very rarely you'll get the two tones for a weekly test.

@Againya23 actually back then the FCC mandate was 20-25 seconds because most receivers setup to trigger would wait for the tone to last more than 15 seconds or so because high pitched dialogue or sounds could cause false triggers to unmute receivers if that wasn't the case. Of course it also helped get people's attention. Now if an EBS tone is used it can be 8-10 seconds but it usually is just the EAS digital bursts used now.

@Againya23 yes the EBS tone was what I was referring to.

You know whats worse then a station doing an EBS test changing the channel and finding the next station also running an EBS it happened to me one Saturday Morning years ago. I wiish someone would find some test slides from St. Louis

@bradhig yeah in the new EAS system stations have 30 minutes to rebroadcast a test message but in a real emergency it is designed that all stations would simultaneously broadcast the message so it is not surprising that more than one station would be airing a test at the same time.
