Prior to going to college, if you were to ask me to explain what 'At Resonance' was, I would have told you it's what accumulates at the bottom of your bong.

I don't know how "huge" this is.  The encoder with the vulnerability is a low-end encoder bought by folks that were too cheap to buy a Sage, and probably don't check their logs anyway.  I believe that the commission revoked the type acceptance to those units years ago, deeming them illegal to use in a FCC licensed station in the first place.
