Well, that was an interesting comment, and I read all of it, even though I only understood precious few words.
It was a detailed technical ramble about how I made a SAME encoder using 80s era hardware and software because I was poor in the early/mid 90s because I was trying to "startup" a little hardware project to sell a mobile car SAME decoder optimized for storm chaser people (and more likely electronics fiends in general). The whole market segment has pretty much been replaced in the 2010's by smartphones and 3G networks…
Thank you very much for your stories! I agree, it is quite easy. A transmitter for the VHF FM band that EAS uses is fairly simple to construct. I was really, really surprised at the lack of authentication combined with relaying mandated by law. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was concerned!
