[sbe-eas] EAS Encoder/Decoder Funding Question

[Adrienne Abbott]

I was in college radio in the days of CONELRAD. The box was already there
when pulled my first shift at KSJS. The only thing I remember was being told
that if that box ever did anything, I was to immediately call Dr. Flick, the
head of the broadcasting department.

On Behalf Of Swisher, Chris

Long time listener, but first time caller here. I was asked a good question
that I am reaching out for NCE and LP background, as I doubt that
commercial stations have ever benefitted. Has the FCC ever provided funding
for EAS equipment purchase due to Federal mandates?
