[EAS] New EAS operating handbook...odd text...

[Kluger, Michael]

I was thinking the same thing when I read that.  It also says "Three data bursts and a tone indicate that the End Of Message (EOM) code has been received" in regard to an EAN (page 6), an NPT (page 8) and an RMT (page 9).  In all four cases, I believe it should say "Three data bursts indicate ...", since AFAIK, the three data bursts are all that an EOM contains.

On page 11 under the RWT section, this statement is in the handbook.

"Three data bursts and a tone indicate that the End of Message (EOM) code has been received, and that the test is over"

My query is...what tone does this refer?  I've never heard of any static tone in a RWT.  Or for that matter, any EAS message's conclusion.
