FCC Updated Events Codes

FCC Updated Event Codes for the MIP

HollyAnne Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of e-proms with the expanded list of EAS event codes. The FCC in its Third Report and Order dealing with EAS, expanded the number of event codes including the Child Abduction Emergency Code (Amber Alert). In the report and order, the FCC set a compliance deadline requiring all encoder-decoders manufactured after August of 2003 be capable of receiving and retransmitting the new codes. Not withstanding the aforementioned upcoming deadline, HollyAnne is making the new codes available in previously manufactured units as a retrofit.

The retrofit is currently available for MIP-921's with a serial number of 1999 or lower. Retrofit e-proms for MIP-921^s&e with serial numbers of 2000 or higher are also available. The cost of the retrofit is $150.00 plus shipping and handling. There is also a refundable $25.00 core charge on e-proms. The retrofit is designed to be field installed. If you wish, however, HollyAnne Corporation will install the new e-prom in our facility for an additional charge of $75.00 plus shipping and handling.

The retrofit e-prom may be ordered direct from HollyAnne Corporation by phoning (308) 428-4705. You will need to know your unit's serial number and firmware version number. For your convenience, we accept MasterCard and Visa. If you wish, we will accept your companies purchase order, assuming credit has been established.
