	Specific Area Message Encoding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Specific Area Message Encoding or SAME is the protocol used to encode the Emergency Alert System in the U.S. for broadcast stations.
		The data is encoded in 7-bit ASCII but uses all 8 bits, with no parity bit and no stop bit ("8-N-0"), at a bitrate of 520.83 bits per second.
		Areas affected (up to 32), usually designated by county (or parish in Louisiana, or borough in Alaska), but which may be designated for the whole state by using county number 000.

	area code
		The area code is a part of a telephone number normally occurring at the beginning that usually indicates a geographical area.
		Area codes were first introduced in 1958, allowing a caller to call another telephone direct instead of via a manual telephone exchange, a process known as Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD), although the process was not completed until 1979.
		In the Netherlands, the area codes are -- excluding the leading '0' -- one, two or three digits long, with larger towns and cities having shorter area codes permitting a larger number of telephone numbers in the ten digits used.

	What You Need to Know About Emergency Radios (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Specific Area Message Encoding is a system that enables warnings and information that are specifically for areas like a county.
		SAME technology eliminates messages that are not applicable to your area by not transmitting the message on your local area frequency.
		For this reason SAME messages are broadcast over different frequencies for specific counties and metropolitan or geographic areas of the country.

	Station Information - Specific Area Message Encoding
		It was originally created for weatheradio by the National Weather Service, and was later adopted by the FCC for regular broadcasters on radio, television, and cable.
		In the SAME system, messages are constructed in four parts, the first and last of which are digital.
		There are two types of event codes, four that are required to be encoded in every unit used, and 49 optional headers that users may program

		Thus, everyone's radio was turned on for all tornado warnings, etc., in all the counties served by the monitored transmitter---even though the storm was miles away from your area, and moving away from your loction.
		Specific Area Message Encoding will allow weather radio users to program their new weather radios to 'alarm' only for the specific message (tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, etc.) affecting only a specific area (county/parrish).
		SAME will allow warnings to interrupt cable and TV programming, including automated radio station formats, or activate a users external alarm device, and then at the end of the warning annoucement automatically reset the users equipment to its previous configuration.

		When the same EAS message is originated on co-located key stations at different times, two apparently separate messages for the same event circulate through the EAS relay web, and automated, unattended, or manned stations set to automatic will air both messages.
		Specifically, we will consider the use of a single set of EAS equipment at a hub station (or common studio/control point where there is no hub station) to satisfy the EAS obligations of the satellite/repeater stations which rebroadcast 100% of the hub station's programming.
		The message shall be in the primary language of the broadcast station or cable system and be fully displayed on the decoder and readable in normal light and darkness.

	NOAA Weather Radio - Using NWR SAME
		NWR receivers without the SAME capability alert for emergencies anywhere within the coverage area of the NWR transmitter, typically several counties, even though the emergency could be well away from the listener.
		When an NWS office broadcasts a warning, watch or non-weather emergency, it also broadcasts a digital SAME code that may be heard as a very brief static burst, depending on the characteristics of the receiver.
		Using SAME, broadcasters may receive NWR warning messages for rebroadcast in accordance with EAS rules.

	NOAA Weather Radio
		Weather messages are repeated every 3 to 5 minutes and are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours or more frequently in rapidly changing local weather or if a nearby hazardous environmental condition exists.
		Look for NWR receivers with the SAME feature (Specific Area Message Encoding) which means the receiver is capable of turning itself on from a silent mode when the digital code is broadcast before the alarm tone is sounded for the geographic area you have pre-selected.
		With the addition of the Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology, life-saving messages broadcast on NWR can now be targeted to a more specific area, like a county or portion of a county, to bring more hazard-specific information to the listening audience.

		Some counties or parts thereof, especially in mountainous areas, that are listed as having NWR coverage, may not have reliable reception in some locations due to signal blockages and/or excessive distance from the transmitter.
		Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) allows a users to program their weather radios (SAME compatable) to alert them only of weather or other emergencies for specific cities or counties.
		When an NWS office broadcasts an urgent audio message (warning, watch, or non-weather emergency) it also creates and broadcasts a digital SAME code (that may be heard as a very brief static burst, depending on the characteristics of the receiver).

		With a industrial receiver you could program your SAME weather radio to only activate when warnings are issued for your specific area (county).
		The Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) system is now used on most NOAA Weather Radio Stations and was planned to coincide with the federally mandated upgrade of the old Emergency Broadcast System to the new digital Emergency Alert System (EAS) which is now operational.
		This is roughly an area of 5,000 square miles and usually covers 8 to 12 average sized counties.

	WX-200 Digital Weather Receiver
		By broadcasting these signals, known as SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding), residents can tune in and learn of problems in their own geographical area.

		Embedded in the SAME message is the time period the warning is in effect.

		These messages are specific to the nature of the severe weather event.
		As we support the SAME system, it is our hope that the NJ State OEM officers will at some point coordinate with the National Weather Service and implement the SAME/EAS Civil Emergency Message (CEM) event code to alert all RACES/ARES members of the need to activate.
		The S.A.M.E. unit on the linking hub will always be active and will also be DTMF commanded and will output to all connected repeaters but NOT the IRLP audio stream.

		Therefore, any receiver in the service area of the station could be activated up to 70 to 100 times before it was for the specific event and specific location of particular need of any individual user.
		There was also the perception by the general public with WAT decoding receivers that any message that set their radio off that did not apply to their geographical area was a "false alarm" regardless of whether the warning may have been valid for another area/county in the service area of the NWR transmitter.
