I worked for Microdyne for four years as a production tech and as an
engineering tech. My last project was their RCB-2000 and DR-2000 series
receivers. The RCB was a dual receiver with a combiner, while the DR
was just a single receiver in the same case. Both had the same features
and user interfaces. they ran on embedded NT and had 10/100 MHz
Ethernet interfaces for complete remote control, or to store different
configurations.

I'm still near Ocala, but I'm now 100% disabled and can only spend a
few hours at a time in my shop here at home. Ocala is a nice area, but
three of the hurricanes did a lot of damage here last year. The
"Florida Greenbelt" runs across the back and one side of my property. It
was so heavily wooded that you couldn't see any light between the
trees. Now, there are more gaps than trees. Big pines were snapping
about half way up and hitting the ground. They moaned and groaned for
hours in the high winds, till they started snapping.
