I only looked at about dozen state EAS plans.
Particpating (end-node) stations were generally assigned 2 or 3 sources.
Primary (local or relay) stations were generally assigned 4 or 5 sources,
Each state organizes things slightly different (names, and numbers).
Ignoring the cosmetic differences, functionally the mandatory parts are
mostly the same.
There is a Sage bias in most state EAS plans. Dayton, Crown and the
built-in DASDEC and Trilithic radios come in sets of 3 receivers, which
is also reflected in most state EAS plans.
Participating (end-node) stations:
Required #1 LP-1 (occasionally an alternate language LP-S or LP-K)
Required #2 LP-2
Recommended #1 Weather Radio
Recommended #2 Local Alerting Network (or LRN, rare, using IPAWS instead)
Supplement #1 State Alerting Network (or SRN or EMNET or GSSNET)
Supplement #2 Closed circuit or additional national source (phone line,
NPR, Premiere, SiriusXM)
CAP #1 (Required) IPAWS server
CAP #2 (Recommended) State CAP server (only a few states)
Primary (local, state and state relay) stations had the more exotic
receivers. Most particpating (end-node) stations only had AM/FM or weather
radios and CAP internet.
