Hi Pat- long time no see. I told you this in person already but I am going
to post it to the list for the sake of discussion.....Out of all the radio
stations I have seen- WBLM/WCYY/WTPN in Portland, the entire Cumulus
cluster in Bangor, WHSN, and WKIT/WZON, I ahve always seen similar EAS
machines. Yes they may differ some, but they all have the basic concept of
a small LCD display with four buttons underneath......what else is there
for EAS machines? Anything without this?
