The 2015 Myth
An interpretation of the FCC's Fifth R&O regarding CAP "enhanced text" has sparked rumors that CAP intermediary devices
will be rendered inoperable after 2015. Gorman-Redlich CAP-DEC1 intermediary devices currently generate this "enhanced
text." For more information, please see the Understanding CAP Converters article.

A note about the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP):
The FCC Second Report and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, adopted on May 31, 2007, mandates that all EAS Participants will be required to accept alerts and
warnings in the CAP format within 180 days of the September 30, 2010
adoption by FEMA of the CAP 1.2 Standard. This deadline
has now been extended by the FCC Fourth Report
and Order until June 30, 2012. The new Gorman-Redlich CAP-to-EAS decoder, which
meets or exceeds Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Conformity Assessment (IPAWS-CA) requirements, will help stations meet their
CAP needs.
As always, Gorman-Redlich equipment is
MADE IN THE USA
