[EAS] TFT Equipment Support

[Darryl E. Parker]

Clay,

Unlike some of your more favored competitors, TFT had the foresight to include "NIC" in the list of Events that could be forwarded and add "000000-All U.S" as a recognized FIPS code. We consulted with the FCC before including the "000000-All U.S" FIPS code and were advised that we could add a FIPS code that would be user-selectable for autoforwarding. The TFT also had the feature to forward manually any valid protocol received message. These were both included in the very first version of TFT equipment that was provided to the FCC for Certification and ultimately to first-run customers in 1995.

No changes, either hardware or software, are required for July 2016 compliance with any TFT EAS system.

Do you still have a cassette player?

Regards,
Darryl E. Parker

HI Charlie -

Long time since our meeting in Great Falls.

I have not heard of anyone offering support for those devices.   Some of the
recent changes in EAS Rules etc may well have put them in the same category
as Cassette Tapes etc.

Regards,

Clay Freinwald

Is there any support out there for legacy TFT boxes with the CAP auxiliary
unit?
