[EAS] Sage 3644 - RWT question

[Kenneth Burns]

Greetings all, first time posting to the list. I'm a former print journalist who now advises a college radio station in Louisiana. I have learned that's often how these things go ?. I've wrapped my head around a lot of the technical stuff but I still have much to learn.

I have a question about an LP-1 station we've been monitoring with our Sage 3644, KZMZ-FM (96.9) in Alexandria. If I'm not mistaken, when we get its weekly test the log says it came from Alexandria's KQID-FM (93.1), not KZMZ:

Alert Received at 08/03/21 02:55:06 on monitor #1
Matched Filter OTHERS
An EAS Participant has issued a Required Weekly Test for Allen, LA, Avoyelles,
LA, Grant, LA, La Salle, LA, and Rapides, LA beginning at 2:55 am and ending at
3:55 am (KQID)
ZCZC-EAS-RWT-022003-022009-022043-022059-022079+0100-2150755-KQID    -
Log Only.

Is that information in the alert signal, or is there something I need to configure on my end?

FYI I've been monitoring KZMZ for testing purposes. We're in Shreveport's area, not Alexandria's, but I'm in the process of requesting a change to KZMZ for our LP-1. The reception is much better.

I agree with Gary. First round of questions should be asked of the FCC.
That being said, our C.O. ran into the same thing but then found that line below the one in question contained all the SAGE model information including the latest revision.
So it may be a bug, but the information does show up later.

He submitted with the following info:
--------------------------------------------
Make and Model = Sage Alerting Systems - Sage Digital Endec Model 3644
Software version = --None--
*Equipment = Make/Model: Sage Alerting Systems - Sage Digital Endec Model 3644 | Software Version: Rev95 CR-Rev5
--------------------------------------------
Odd and redundant, but it's in there.
