[EAS] Activity at the FCC

[k7cr]

Both of the major makers (Sage and Monroe) are saying their stuff is 
software up-gradable via the Web...Should not be a problem with up-grades. 
Frankly I don't see any path for existing equipment to be upgraded....But, 
then again, I have been wrong in the distant past.

I agree, it's likely to be a rush-job at this rate.
