: From my understanding, if you are an EAS station, you need someone there in the building at all times. If you have multiple stations, one person would suffice.
: Transmitter readings need to still be done, however I think the engineers typically take care of that now.
: That's just my 2 cents... Chris, let me know if I am wrong....
In my day we had to do transmitter readings every few hours.. and unless you're blessed to have a really dedicated geek, engineers are usually only at the station from 9-5.. so I'm not sure how the transmitter reading policy could have been changed.. hopefully Chris Tarr clears this up with more info.
