We have it. It can not do as you ask unless one uses an outside coded 
detector on a played cut.
The way the system works, only feeds can trigger closures.  Traffic can't 
create or call a feed.  Only templates can call feeds.  Also, feeds can not 
be timed. They're ended by a machine command of some type (closure, hard 
sync, etc.) And further, audio cuts can't command trigger closures.
It's a MAJOR draw back to the system for those in the USA who want to 
schedule EAS operations in traffic.
I'm looking at taking an ITC cart decoder and using a two tone sec and 
tertiary tone combo to trigger the EAS.
