[EAS] Part 11 / Local CAP Relay Networks

[Marlin Jackson]

Here in Spokane Washington the radio link from Spokane County is on a road department channel. 453.something mhz. The EAS units ignore all the regular traffic and the road department doesn't mind a few squawks now and then. It's been used this way since the beginning of EAS.

I hate to sound like a stuck record ....However, I feel that state and local
governments should be providing the public warning messages to us.

Here in Washington State -

The State 'broadcasts' State Level warnings using two methods -

1- CAP via MyStateUSA
2 -Via the legacy State Relay Network (Microwave feed VHF transmitters
throughout the state)

In most cases local warnings are provided by the local governments via
shared use of existing government radio channels.
