[EAS] What's the point of LP-1s anymore?

[Richard_Rudman]

Local transmitter sites still have to have operating EAS devices that according to current rules have to be set in the automatic mode unless supervised by a human being.

That said, the LP relay model was flawed from the beginning as a hold-over from EBS days.

I have long held that whenever possible we should start on a path, using all means and methods available, to deliver EAS events directly and as simultaneously as latency issues allow to all EAS Participants.
