[EAS] No such thing as too much compression

[Marcos O'Rourke]

What audio are you referring to? There have not been any EAS messages
from the State of California for years.

For our LECC the audio is pretty good. We are probably the exception
to the norm but the EAS as is works pretty well. But that is because
we (the LP-1) have a very close relationship with the County and have
assisted them with the setup of their EAS gear.
