What is the diskette drive for?
The diskette drive is how you'll update the System 3000D software. When new features are
added, the update involves putting the diskette in the drive and pressing a button.
When new event codes are added to EAS you'll just slip a diskette in the drive, and in a matter
of seconds, you'll have the new data in place. (Sure beats invasive surgery involving screwdrivers and
EPROMs, eh?)
The drive is also a convenient means to archive your EAS events log.
Where is the printer? I thought the FCC required us to print the logs!
There is an industry-standard parallel printer connection on the back of the System 3000D. If
you decide to use a printer, just plug it in there. The FCC requires stations to keep a record of
EAS events, but the rules do not limit your choice to a single method.
System 3000D keeps the required records for you on the built-in hard disk drive. You can copy the
records to diskette for transfer to any text editor, word processor, spread sheet, or other programs
running on your PC. You can also print the logs by connecting a printer to the 3000D.
Have you ever tried to read a cash register receipt a year after it was printed? Did you notice
the severe fading problems with that sort of printout? We did, too.
EAS logs can also be reviewed on the front panel display. Unlike other EAS systems, the 3000D also
records and archives the entire EAS event, allowing you to replay the data and the audio message
accompanying it. With several hours of audio storage on board, you'll be able to keep many months of
EAS events available for instant review.
What is the quality of your audio storage?
Audio stored in the System 3000D is digitized at 32,000 samples per second into 16 bit,
uncompressed, linear pulse-code modulation data. The effective audio bandwidth is 15 kHz.
This yields an exceptionally high quality of clear audio.
What about receivers?
Three receivers are built into the System 3000D. One receiver is dedicated to National Weather
Service frequencies --- the other two can be your choice of AM or FM broadcast units. You can have
two AM, two FM, or one of each, according to your monitoring assignments.
How do I tune the receivers?
All three receivers are synthesized, which gives you the ability to tune them as your needs
change. You tune the receivers to a new frequency from the front panel of the System 3000D.

EAS Encoder II Software Package - $ 750
Compatible with Win 95 Operating System
Requires sound card
Specify CD-ROM or 3.5 inch Floppy Disks
Encoder II can be used as a front-end software package to nearly any EAS Encoder unit, or
can interface directly from a PC to a Radio via the Radio/Telephone Interface. Encoder II can
also be used as a remote site EAS encoder when purchased with both the Radio/Telephone
Interface and the Telephone Interface products.
Radio/Telephone Interface List Price: $350
Telephone Interface List Price: $350
MTS Telephone Interface
The Telephone Interface is used in conjunction with Encoder II and the Radio/Telephone
Interface in order to operate Encoder II from a remote location (See Radio/Telephone
Interface literature)

EAS Encoder II Software Package for Win95 PCs
Connection Options:
Encoder II is a Windows based software package designed to operate as either a stand-alone
EAS Encoder or as a Graphic User Interface (GUI) for an EAS Encoder System.
Encoder II outputs EAS data through a computer soundcard. This allows Encoder II to play
three important potential roles in the Encoding of EAS messages.
1) Encoder II can operate as a front-end software package for an EAS Encoder System. To
operate in this fashion, Plug a standard speaker cable (not included) into the speaker output of
the computer soundcard. Then connect the speaker wire to the Audio Inputs on the EAS
Encoder/Decoder system.
2) Encoder II can operate as a stand-alone EAS Encoder. To operate in this fashion requires a
