That sounds highly unlikely. You can still buy chips designed in the

But you can't create the circuit boards and assemble them at affordable
costs.
Which is what I said.
so the chances of whatever microcontroller the radios used being
unavailable is pretty slim. Plus the analogue radio components and op-amps
will always be available until someone invents usable optotronics. More
than likely the cost of redesigning the board for SMDs was more than
railtrack was prepared to pay.
So you know more than a multi-national radio manufacturing company? It's a
true story, as told to me by our salesman to Railtrack at the time.
Told to you by a salesman? Oh well, it MUST be true then.
