How would one create a SAME decoder in GNURadio? EAS being the Emergency  
Alert System, AMBER alerts, etc. I can tune to Weather radio; but I was  
wondering if I could listen to the EAS channels themselves.

Thanks.

I’d never heard of this before you posted this, but it seems like it’s  
very similar to NOAA. Start from there, check the specs, find the  
differences… and report back here 🙂
