[EAS] [EAS-OR] Sparc SHD-TX2

[Kent Randles]

For last night's Washington Amber Alert (CAE), which only had a 1-hour window, the Sparc radio would have come to life, need to be "snoozed," and would return to normal after an hour.

It saved the first 54 words of the CAP description.

Thanks!

This one I know.

If the radio triggers it will continue to play which ever station it landed on and will continue to scroll the alert display even after the warning time has expired.

Kent,

Does that mean pressing nothing, doing nothing, will cause the alert to time out and cease the repetition?

The correct model number is SHD-TX2

________________________________

Here's how it is supposed to work, from Marek Milbar, Executive Director, Advanced Programs Engineering, iBiquity Digital Corporation Inc:

Short pressing the display button (when the alert is scrolling) puts the alert in 10 minutes snooze for the same alert, regardless of the station sending it. Long pressing the display button (when the alert is scrolling) puts the alert in 12 hours ignore ('long snooze').

The radio we are talking about, the Sparc XHD-TX1:
