[EAS] Tests, tones and technology...

[Kluger, Michael]

Even putting the EAS test audio aside, there would be many uses for such a device. Especially with people who think that the ability to download audio editing software makes them a fully qualified audio engineer, or the ability to purchase a digital camcorder makes them a production pro. (No, you won't get broadcast quality audio by shooting everyone and everything using the built-in camera mic. )

(Rant mode off.)

Perhaps Orban or Omnia can develop a 'quality enhancer' ....Feed crappy
audio in and it comes out in Broadcast Quality - 

Seems to me there is a huge market for this device

Mike--Just what could you or any broadcaster have done? Once that EAN goes
out, you have no control over your airwaves. That's the way the system is
designed and that's the way it worked. 

We can argue all night long about whether broadcasters, if given the
opportunity to do this ourselves could have done a better job, but that's
not the system we've been given or mandated. Within the constraints of what
we have, the system worked. Now what remains is to find out whether FEMA and
the FCC have the cajones to do what's needed to improve it.
