[EAS] Humans thwart disaster alerts - - URL

[Ed Czarnecki]

Not sure about the other devices, but the DASDEC and OneNet use the
validated headers as the point after which the recording starts.  The
attention signal and audio (voice) are captured, and the attention signal is
removed.  

When re-transmitting the alert, the DASDEC can omit the attention signal if
desired.  The user can configure the equipment to retransmit an alert with
or without attention tones).

For that matter, the DASDEC/OneNet can also omit the header, attention
signal and/or EOM - and just transmit the voice alert message.  So actually
it would be feasible to avoid the "many seconds of tones and data bursts" in
certain circumstances, at least with this equipment.

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?
