That is strange. Stations are required to test, but 2 in 45 minutes is odd.

Re: Emergency Broadcast System Test...2 in last 45 minutes
Has anyone ever heard and EBS tone on satellite radio before?

There was one on Sunday while my wife and I were driving. It didn't say it was a test, just played the tones and then went back to regular programming.

I've never had that happen on Sirius / XM before.

Did the second & third say "this is just a test"? If it didn't you're in trouble.

Its easy to hide communications in a 'tone' that are not picked up by the conscious mind.

It's prolly worth recording a few, then doing a little spectral analysis.

Anything outside of a pure tone, even if it sub-audible, will show right up in the spectrum.

I vote a New Madrid incident as most likely based on what I've been following. Or a "Taliban retaliation " as second most likely. If they don't tie the two together.

Or it could b that its the beginning of the month and they are fufilling thirty required test.

But still...3?

Northern California had one yesterday evening about 8:00pm then again this morning at 6:00am.

Interesting we usually have only one per week.

Just thought I would report in with information.

The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) ended in 1997.
It was replaced by the The Emergency Alert System (EAS).

"...the official EAS is designed to enable the President of the United States to speak to the United States within 10 minutes...."
