[EAS] Best and Worst of New CAP EAS Rules

[Clay Freinwald]

It just goes to show us all how short sighted the FCC can be.

I suspect those that bitched about forward progress got their way.

Washington State has had a CAP system up and running for well over a year,
with extensive use of Text to Speech, we are not likely to reverse
direction.

I'm confused on the tts conversion ban here. Was there any reason given for
this? Perfect Paul is good enough for NOAA, why not have tts for this as
well?

How else would you get the message out? Real human voice has always been the
problem (people eating the mic, audio is garbage after half dozen relays,
etc.) Did they provide an alternative?

Lots of unanswered things here.
