[EAS] Is monitoring a translator cool

[Dale Lamm]

I understand what was said about the fact that a PEP's translator might not be included in the secure program path from national authorities. Hence, monitoring a PEP's translator might not be a good idea.

However, as listeners transition away from AM radio to I/P streams and FM translators, we have to be certain that all broadcast paths convey all EAS messages of a national "must carry" nature. If they don't, aren't they obligated to go off the air during a national emergency? Time to read the rules again, but most of them were written long before I/P streaming.
