[BC] EAS

[Tom Bosscher]

Very simple solution for EAS:

	1.	The feds, for a cost of less than 800 feet of the "Big Dig", could 
supply every broadcast studio, and every city/county/state EOC/dispatch 
center with the Comlabs system. We now have the proper way for the 
government agencies to supply data/audio and pictures to the broadcasters.

	2.	For the cost of less than a half a mile of the same Big Dig, the 
feds could hire one of the very qualified consulting engineers on this 
forum to design a nationwide NWS 162 MHz system that would cover 95% of 
the population, and install the equipment.

	The point to be made. You cannot force a horse to drink water. Like 
others on this forum, I am a EAS/severe weather geek. I have the SAME 
radios. Not one of my six sisters or my Dad does. But we need the 
infrastructure in place to reach all those people.

	The Commlabs system gives the entire US a proper link between the 
issuing government agencies and the broadcasters, without using any 
broadcasters main channel.
