Do the FEC defect detectors always talk?

  by C2629
 
Are the defect detectors the kind that will talk to the train after any movement over them or do they only talk when a defect is found? If they do talk, will it be by MP or the town that it is located in?

I think all of the detectors are voice responce. I was up in New Smyrna
Beach on Saturday and the one there goes off on the radio for every
train as well.
