[EAS] {Spam?} RE: IP transmission of CAP Authority to form StateEmerg. Comm. Committees

[k7cr]

 Ira -

Is that EAS backbone distributing Analog/SAME info ...or is it distributing 
CAP.
If it is analog - Is it going to be changed to handle digital/CAP info?

Sure would like to hear more about your system and what your plans are for 
the
future.

Thanks

Clay
