[EAS] No EAN?

[Cross, Robin]

You are incorrect in that the NPR satellite distribution worked just as well as the PEP System.  In other words, the same errors that were due to FEMA in the PEP System were also in the NPR satellite distribution.  In fact KCUR carried the test before the local PEP station did, WHB.

Back up the truck, Jim...What do you mean IPAWS can't handle an EAN? There was a lot of talk this time last year about holding the National EAS test after CAP came on line because then all stations would receive the test. All this time I, and probably a lot of other people, thought that IPAWS would be able to handle an EAN. Tell me more because apparently the National Test showed that PEP/NPR system did not perform as expected. That means in spite of the Internet, cell phones, satellite radio and TV and all the other goodies of modern technology, we still don't have an adequate national warning system, much less an adequate local warning system.
