And there is ample precedent. ( 5 figure fines, initially, then it gets bad ) The way the rules read one could mis-interpret an allowed delay, but that's not right. ( unless you're congress, or a judge ) What they mean, is the maximum delay due to equipment function. ( store-forward within the EAS box ) The intent of the rule, is that the EAS box goes as the last point in the STL before the transmitter, so that it auto-interrupts anything and everything, no matter what. The actual rule is just badly written. At the time, the effort was to write the rule in such a way that it didn't require things that were physically impossible at the time, such as automatic instantaneous retransmission of everything EAS. ( and thank God it doesn't ) Or things that were unnecessary, such as automatically immediately repeating emergency info on the air, when there was a live operator who could do a better job of it anyway. That's been (mis)interpreted in various ways. -- Cowboy _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
