To clarify further, often a Burk ARC16 is used with the accompanying AutoPilot software running on a computer. One of my clients has an ancient DOS version in use for at least a decade. Works fine, though the old computer clock drifts a bit. The Burk ARC16 is the most common unit, and it has no clock functions in it. The external computer is needed. Most of us simply do call it a "Burk". Except when it calls at 3am because of some problem, then the word "Burk" is prefaced with a few choice adjectives.. These are a *huge* bit nicer than the old stepper relay remote controls. To work those properly was almost like playing a musical instrument. Press a control too quick or too slow and it messed up. I changed one of those relays once. Somewhere around 140 solder connections in something the size of a tennis ball. Tedious!
