[BC] CAP converter sharing?

[Gary Peterson]

I will elaborate as to what I meant when I
referred to a grey area.  A few years ago, we had
a JSA-ed radio station co-located with our owned
stations.  The JSA had their own EAS
encoder/decoder.  I inquired as to whether they
could legally share the use of our EAS receive
antennas on the roof of the building.  The answer
given was yes.  So, a small part of the JSA
station's EAS system did not belong to them.

This begs the question - could Kyle's gaggle of
LPFM stations share one ISP account?  How about
sharing the same router?  How about sharing the
same CAP converter, if they all have their own
encoder/decoders?  To me, the point in the entire
system at which some legal "sharing" of facilities
occurs, is a grey area.  I would want an opinion
from the Commission or legal council.  But, that's
just me.

"Not so grey.  We had a discussion about this
months back and the FCC wants
everyone to have his/her own units for each owner
at a common site.

> I don't believe the FCC has allowed radio
stations to share EAS equipment,
unless the stations are commonly owned.  This
seems to be one of those >
grey areas.  I guess that I would want an opinion,
in writing, from a
trusted source (FCC or communications attorney).

" "If I have multiple stations in a town, is there
any reason why a single CAP converter can't be
used as a common source for all of the individual
EAS units?  I'm working with a gaggle of LPFM
stations on a common site with low budgets.
