[EAS] The way is sounded

So now the tone of the message has to also suggest high urgency?
If they're ignoring the the Duck Farts and the two tone ATTENTION signal, we've lost them before the announcement ever starts.

>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 ?
