Fieldtech1 said:Why not use OTA DTV as the relay cascading network. You could slice off an encrypted PID that radiostations could monitor for EAS messages. I imagine this could be implemented fairly easy with already existing systems.
Don't think that's a good idea. For starters, I'm thinking of how long my OTA DTV receiver takes to relock after a lightning strike. Flaky reception in the urban jungle is another issue...look how hard it is to get AM's downtown.
