About: Not so very long ago, in a forum not so far away, after watching @Gdkitty answer other customers in the forum, I thought, I can answer that one, and that one, and, and, and ... 6700 posts later, here we are. After spending over 20 years in government service in operations, software development, and flight test, all the while troubleshooting, testing, and generally overseeing the development of aircraft and ground data systems, I'm still troubleshooting systems, this time, here on the forum. I'd describe myself as a techie at heart, who enjoys a technical challenge. It’s like solving a puzzle in some manner, in this case with radios and cables, ones and zeros. Throw in some logic and voila, the solution should be at hand, or so the plan states I'll usually tackle issues like cabling, signal levels, Wi-Fi issues, and modem or router issues, sometimes with the equipment and sometimes with the configuration. There's a wide range of topics that I'll look at, and you never know when you start, where it will eventually lead to. My principal recommendation to other customers, don't hesitate to ask the simplest question, sometimes its really not a simple question after all, and, as one of my professors said to my engineering class a long time ago, if you're wondering about something, there's probably someone else who is wondering about the same thing, so don't be shy and don't hesitate to ask.

Why become a Resident Expert?
