[EAS] The 2017 EAS Handbook for LP-1's

[Clay Freinwald]

Mike wrote - 

Bigger picture, can you not receive the LP-1 or LP-2 for your operating
area?  Local stations (LPs) of any class should not be originating their own
RMT's. The RMT's are designed to check the local operating area daisy chain.
Much the same as the NPT tests everything above the state and local areas.

I agree completely - 

EAS messages typically come from government entities (Federal, State,
Regional or Local) and not from broadcast stations.    To goal in testing
any system is to test it - From the Source, therefore, all test messages
should come from the actual source that initiate 'real' warnings.     In
this way the whole system is tested, not just a portion of it..     The role
of broadcast stations should be limited to reaching the public with the
warning information and this should be done automatically without any human
intervention required.
