I Just Spoke to Trilithic.
Although their latest product supports filtering out those areas that
are not relevant to a station's listening area, their older product does
not. Trilithic was non-commital on whether they would address this on
their older model products. We happen to have one of those older models.
The reason my unit is logging all cap messages in California and Nevada
is because the Atom feed sent by IPAWS is state specific only. So there
is no way for the CAP interface software to filter by county at that
level. I was told that if I received EAS messages from other counties
over the air via standard broadcast and those counties were not selected
in our EAS unit for monitoring, the unit still would log those
messages. Can't wait for the next five years.
Thanks,
