Radios.What are the special features and performance of such $80,000
Radios? I do not believe ANY radio in the World is worth $80,000 unless
it is made of solid Gold.

Custom built telemetry radios to track deep space satellites.
L-3Com/Microdyne RCB-2000 dual digital receiver with combiner built in,
ruining embedded NT and fully programmable for everything except which
microwave band they received.

Not solid gold, but a lot of expensive gold plated parts. I worked
with engineering to get it ready for the production floor, then
programmed the boards and setup the DDS boards. I worked on these
radios for the last year I was able to work full time.

I collect the rearly Microdyne telemetry equipoment. Its all built
like a tank and at least one radio was on 24/7 for 30 years at NASA
without a failure.
