Hello, I am a metro-Detroit based author. I worked in radio in the 1990s when everything changed from analog to digital. I am working on a book drawing on some of my memories of that time. None of the stations where I worked exist any more. There are a few specific things I'm hoping to find the answers to. I was not sure in which forum to post and perhaps you can help. The first has to do with the Emergency Broadcast System. The first station where I worked was a primary EBS station and I remember there being a book that was near the EBS equipment that had copy to be read on air in the event of certain emergencies. I remember some of them as being kind of scary, and I have been trying to find some of those texts circa 1992.
The other question relates to the Gentner system. At the last station where I worked I was on the phone chain to be called by the Gentner and I remember it calling and saying "Alarms pending." I'm trying to figure out what the various alarms were and what it might have said after "alarms pending" in various situations. This would be circa 1995. If anyone could point me in the direction of either of those things I would be grateful.
