Sage Alerting Systems has released the Rev 96-1 firmware update for users of Sage Digital ENDEC model 3644 in the United States.
“This is not a mandatory update, but Sage recommends that you install it during your normal maintenance cycle,” the company said in a service note to users on Wednesday. “Your state may have plans to use the new Missing and Endangered Persons event code; you’ll need this update to be able to receive and relay it.”
Sage noted that the FCC permits stations to implement the new MEP code on a voluntary basis. “Users should check their state EAS plans to see what the expectations are in their area,” President Harold Price told us.
There are several improvements, listed in the Sage user note. The update is free and can be installed on any ENDEC that is on Rev96.

Sage welcomed questions by email to [email protected] or call 914-872-4069.
