[EAS] TFT Equipment Support

[Mike McCarthy]

The 911 core unit is functionally obsolete with the rules revisions coming
out this summer. There is no one to provide firmware updates.  As such,
the unit will no longer be type accepted or approved...which ever applies.

For starters, there are several new event codes being circulated. Most
relating to coast storm and high wind event warnings which are not
tropical or convective in nature.

The 000000 code becoming the ALL-USA code and no longer the DC only FIPS
code.

NPT becoming mandatory forward.

There are more I'm sure....

Plan to replace the 911 in fairly short order.
