  What I had meant to say was:

  My vote would be to add a decoder to the receivers that we already
have. As I've stated before, I've demoed an EAS receiver here and the
reaction is always the same, "OK. I'll buy one as soon as it's $29.95
like the one at Radio Shack." (Never mind the fact that, although it
MIGHT add $5.00 to the cost of the device to include that same decoder
in a BROADCAST BAND RECEIVER, the one at Radio Shack ONLY receives
NOAA... Which is NOT available in our area and is not "in the works"
anytime soon even though I've offered to provide tower space, the
transmitter, the generator and the antenna!)
