What Will Subscribers See and Hear During the Test
The nationwide EAS test is expected to resemble the monthly EAS test with which
most subscribers are already familiar. The test will conclude with the transmission
of the End of Message (EOM) code, rather than the Emergency Action
Termination (EAT) code and will not require EAS participants to reconfigure their
EAS encoder/decoder devices.
