The latest EAS vendor firmware is supposed to block normal EAS stations
from originating "000000" FIPS code. You need the special FEMA firmware
to use the All U.S. FIPS code.
I guess if KLOV hasn't updated its EAS firmware, it may still have an
older release allowing it to originate EAS messages with 000000.
Note: firmware allows relaying 000000. The limitation was originating new
EAS messages with 000000.
