[EAS] The way is sounded

[Jeff Staigh]

MY fidelity issue comes from years and years of complaints of terrible audio coming from LA County EOC, and anyone in this town remembers it month after month for years. We all got very critical because it often couldn't be heard.

IMO Only, listening to the 'fidelity' yesterday does not denote any urgency whatsoever in what is otherwise a EAN message coming through. Its signature should be sufficiently offset from the program stream that the listener is startled enough by the change of audio enough to listen. Isn't that the point ?

These days even the EAS rat farts are being ignored as they have become common place.
