[BC] EAS vs. EBS

[Mark Garrett]

   You  do not say what unit(s) you have.  If they have receivers in them
   that  might be a good way to monitor a radio station.  Otherwise there
   is  not  much there that would be of true value, especially for a part
   15 operation.

   Best  bet  would  be  to  advise  your  listeners if severe weather is
   occuring  to tune to station XXXX or the National Weather Service "All
   Hazards Radio" at 162.XXX.

   If  you  are running a part 15 radio station then you are not required
   to  run, log and maintain such equipment.  Getting your listener(s) to
   depend  on  you  for  their  notification  of  alerts  using equipment
   that does  not work with the current level of technology just does not
   add up.

   Think  of  it  as  a  good way in that you have one less thing to deal
   with.
