[EAS] question regarding tones

[Larry Wood]

The second box always generates its own two-tone alert signal when passing on an EAS alert. It is supposed to strip the originators two-tone alert signal out of the recording of the alert message. After sever attempts to get our blue Sage units to remove the originator alert tone from the recording, I finally got it to work by setting the ATTN THRESH on our Sage to 5.

Cheers,

Larry Wood, CPBE

I don't think it is an echo issue... I have heard that in other 
contexts, but in this case, the tone is the ONLY part that is 
duplicated.  Plus, it isn't weaker... in fact, it is often stronger and 
clearer.   The impression I get is that the second box is that the first 
tone is what the incoming source provided, and that for some reason it 
isn't being recognized properly and that the box thinks it needs to 
create its own.  Just guessing on that.
