Here in Louisville, Kentucky the weather receivers are tested 2 days a week ( 1st Test is on Tuesday Between 6:00 pm & 7:00 pm, 2nd Test is on Wednesday Between 11:00 am & 12:00 pm [High Noon] the times listed are in Eastern Time.)
My office, Grand Rapids MI, still has a live voice for the required weekly test, as well. Also, even when CRS was still around, there were some stations that used Speechify Tom for the test, so not all stations use a live voice. I believe that when BMH was introduced, live voices are now being used less frequently, but it was not unheard of for a computerized voice to read off the test when CRS was still being used.
I like it, it's nice to know what it's like on the other end of things!

Yessir
Still doing it by voice! Our station uses a computerized voice and honestly I miss the old school system when it was a person reading it off.
My NWS office, Ruskin FL, still uses live voice for their weekly tests.

Actually that system in the video had added computer voices in the late 90s and the system was put out of service in 2016 with a much newer system
Well, ours is now officially off the air, so we are left with no warning system now
@@SPCSafetyHarbor2235 same in BUF.
I have required Monthly test
Monthly test: 2nd Tuesday at 10:30 AM on Kentucky
this is the second video I've seen that still has the old comment system
What’s the beeping sound at the beginning? I sometimes hear this a second or two after the alarm tone.
I think that's just a countdown timer to help the person not start reading too early or too late
Countdown until they can start speaking, It has to send out the EAS or SAME tones out to weather radios or TV's so it counts down until hes live.
@@SRN42069 interesting
Pretty cool to see what happens BTS
Is this how the weather radios are activated?
Yea
