Don't some, if not all EAS boxes, sense the end of a two tone attention signal to trigger the start of recording the announcement?

Might it make sense to seek a rules change to eliminate the two-tone part, which no longer has any technical function I'm aware of?   Maybe not on the first alert sounding, but thereafter when there are updates?
