WARNING - tech talk here...
The second question centers around the radio board processor. I have always seen MicroChip Technologies ICs used for this. Can anyone confirm this on the latest radio boards? The reason I ask is because MicroChip Technologies is upgrading a lot of their PIC processors. The pinouts are the same and there is a few added features but the code is not the same. You have to perform a code migration to IDE X and in spite of the tech documents on their web page its not so simple. So even if you had the original ASM code you may have to modify it in its entirety.
So is this an opportunity to use an upgraded IC? Or did Lionel walk away because this code migration is not worth their time?

Lou, Lionel hasn't made the R2LC for a very long time. I don't think they've made the R4LC recently either. Scott hat to contract to make his own R4LC's, obviously under license from Lionel.
