[BC] DST and EAS

[Gochenour, John]

After speaking with Harris about this, it's my understanding that the
DST calendar in the new SAGE eproms will be user programmable...so if
anything changes down the road the eprom won't need to be replaced
again.

Talking with Harris today, they don't even have a firm date for
shipment. The Sage eproms are still in the testing stage. They did have
a price of $200.00 each, $50.00 if you upgraded recently to the latest
firmware version. I tend to agree with Barry...we are turning off the
DST feature and will set manually for now.
