All stations need to adjust the clock on the eas

F

Flying-Dutchman

Today we moved the clock forward. And I adjusted the clock on the eas. We had tornado warnings today.
I had to relay the eas alerts manualy because other stations in the chain had not set the clocks in their units.

I'm not griping. Just thought I should alert anyone who overlooked this.
 
The QMIX EAS forwarded NOAA alerts this afternoon...not sure about WKKG and WTTS. Hopefully new software for the EAS boxes will reflect the change...assuming we can get the boss man or boss lady to invest.
 
Dutchman,

Time sure flies doesn't it? Or was it "Blown Away"?
 
I have adjusted all the clocks here. It's that time again. Just giving everyone a heads up.
You need to make sure the clock on the EAS and any automation computers have the right
time. If you are doing a live show, you might want to check the clock on the wall as well.

Some lady just called to chew me out concerning dead air on the radio. She had the wrong
number. It was another station that forgot to set the clock on the automation.
 
With all this technology around us, you would think that one of the EAS makers would create an upgrade that would allow the box to receive time signals either via the internet or WWV. Except for my grandfather clock in the den, every clock in my house now sets itself, yet the one thing that the FCC really pushes as a priority still depends on someone to interact with it at least twice a year. Figures.

Acutally if the station you work for would have updated the firmware on the EAS EnDec it would have had the correct DST adjusted time. This was a firmware upgrade that came out over a year ago. Don't blame it on the hardware, more than likely your station was to cheap to order the firmware update at $250.

I like it when people assume. They generally make an ass out of themselves. Pretty much like you just did.
