Rev. Robert requested:

>I have some old EBS units. I'd like to make a poor man's EAS out of it. I 
don't need advanced funtions. I just want to make something that will pick 
up EAS signal and switch the audio from program over to the off air receiver 
and air the emergency message audio. if this works I want to start modding 
old EBS equipment for this purpose for people who run AM 1000 Rangemasters 
under part 15. I really hate to see equipment go to the junk pile that can 
be recycled to some other purpose :)

----------

If it has a built-in receiver, like the old TFT units, you can use that portion of it.  If it doesn't, try using it for a doorstop.  It's a little too big to make a good paperweight.
