[sbe-eas] What's the fix for a seized box?

[Stephen Weber]

Suzanne,

That info should be easy to find on the websites of the manufacturers, but it would be nice to gather it all together here...

Sending an RWT will indeed produce a set of EOM burps at the end of the test, but my question is would the unit be in the mood to let you send the RWT?  I recall that with the Sage units there will always be an ABORT soft-key available during an outgoing alert; I believe if it is used it will immediately send the EOM burps, but don’t quote me on that.  At a minimum that should release the unit and allow an RWT if necessary.

Maybe my pal Dennis in Alaska or another one of you engineering geniuses (remember, I'm a policy genius, not a techie!) can answer this.  If an EAS box "seizes" on an EAN and doesn't release back to air, what's the fix?  Should a station send a RWT?  Or something else?



Thanks-
