The problem is simply this - How does a legacy EAS Box know that it must
interrupt the program line because the Governor (or their designated party)
has a message that must be carried? There is nothing inside an existing
EAS Box that will do 'must-carry' beyond an EAN.
What about that lone EAS Box in an un-attended Radio or TV Station?
I can hear the dragging of feet, but until someone can explain how this
would work...I see nothing but totally new EAS Hardware in our future.
FYI - I have clients here that have new Sages on order.
