EAS Test
For stations participating in the Emergency Alert System (EAS) in the United States,
broadcast of EAS tones and data can be accomplished in three different ways:
Note: Normal 6200 processing may not allow the full modulation level as re-
quired by EAS standards. It is therefore necessary to temporarily defeat the
6200’s processing during the broadcast of EAS tones and data. Placing the
6200 in Bypass mode can defeat the processing. The
BYPASS GAIN
control
allows a fixed gain trim through the 6200. See “Test Modes,” on page 3-35 for
more information.
