[EAS] IP transmission of CAP Authority to formStateEmerg. Comm. Committees

[Ira Wilner]

When the cable goes down or when the ISP gets overloaded or their link to their hub hundreds of miles away gets blown out due to a backhoe fade or bad router, your own RF RPU system will still work.  I'm adding audio over IP for remote broadcast and backup for STL's but I am not eliminating our own radio systems.  That would be foolish.

In this area we use the 450/455 for a lot of -

Being in Market #13 helps with utilization.
