Slightly off topic, but one of the side effects of the updated SAGE 
software was to apparently break our state's system for favoring CAP 
alerts over our backup RF based State Relay Network.  We had configured 
a one minute delay on the SRN to give people time to get the CAP alert.  
If for whatever reason they didn't get the CAP alert (Internet issues, 
whatever), then after that short delay, they'd still get the SRN 
version.  But... with the new SAGE software, NPT (in addition to EAN), 
must now be sent "immediately"...  a number of LPs received... and 
aired... the SRN version first.  And the audio was much nicer on the CAP 
version....
