^TO connect the Audio Alert Generator to the JR, i used basic Cat 53/Ethernet cable (twisted pair)

So those three beeps are being by the Audio Alert box? And I assume that's what it would sound like when a warning is being displayed on a Junior?

BTW, at the end of the video, is that "No Data Available" being generated by the Junior?

Yes, the audio weather alert generates the DTMF tones. No Data Available is generated by the JR. the JR handles all the video and Data.

It's saying "No Data Available" because there is no Baseband video input.

I wonder if the weather alert system was recently made for the Junior. The reason I say this is because unlike the Junior unit itself, the weather alert system has the newer 1996-2005 TWC logo with weather.com underneath it...
