Some thoughts on this thread -


> Granted most translators are RF frequency shifting devices (some are not)



> All these system could be order/modified to permit the injection of local-

applicable EAS public warning messages. It's a matter of desire.


> When it comes to EAS, all too many feel that it's an unfunded mandate



> To the Feds - EAS is a, last-ditch, presidential message distribution 

> system



> To every one else - This is OUR public warning system



> All good and effective EAS systems (and yes, there are many) go beyond

what is required by the FCC to make them that way.


> Good EAS requires contributions from many- it is, as it should be, \

a cooperative activity.


> Putting economic considerations ahead of potentially saving a life is

not way I would call being a good citizen.
