[EAS] EAS Digest, Vol 8, Issue 17

[Gary Timm]

Steve & Jonathan,
I believe I have seen right on this email list from manufacturers that the DC Location Code will not be an issue.
 
Manufacturers: If the DC Location Code or any other aspect of the National Test will require EAS unit reprogramming, please let us know.
 
Thanx,
Gary Timm
