And AVRs!   :)

My repeater controller, the Arcom RC-210, runs from an Atmel Mega-128
I just retuned another receiver for the repeater tonight, a Daniels MT-3
synthesized module. No docs, but I moved it down from 465-ish MHz to
446.0to use as an auxiliary receiver.

I did an article on repeaterbuilders for interfacing the Arcom controller to
the Daniels Subrack earlier this year.

Long ago, I did a Pic F84 to control a VHF synthesized transmitter, with a
little tokenized language interpreter, running on code stored in EE, with
commands like "Tune" and "Key", "Pause" and CW, which did ascii text to
morse conversion.
