[EAS] Test Length

[Marlin Jackson]

We have RMT's a couple times a year that originate from the Washington State DEM. These are relayed across the state as well as daisy chained to parts of the state and into North Idaho and Eastern Montana. While each EAS box has an internal delay the entire message is delivered to the very end of the chain. I see no issues as long as the feds get the message to the PEP. That's the only part that hasn't been tested here.

A little late to be thinking about this....

BUT...if test audio is only 30 seconds....and live.....

By the time 2 sets of headers are decoded and sent...the live audio will be over...

I just wanted to be on the record as predicting a disaster....
