[EAS] Converters, or not?

[Tom Spencer]

Now, yes.  Later, no - at least as of now.

The real issue with the converters, from the way the Rules are written, 
is the ability of the converter to output video or graphic 
information... for TV and cable systems.  Since basic radio doesn't need 
nor can even use such a feature at the most basic level, I'd look for 
this to be revisited long before the 2015 "drop dead" date (June 15, 
IIRC) for CAP-to-legacy-EAS converters.  On the other hand, as the 
legacy units age, there will come a point where even the legacy units 
now on the Little Brown Truck  will need replacing; so it will 
eventually become a moot point.  Right now, though, converters are legit.
