Unable to install .NET framework 3.5 Features after patching windows 2012 R2

I have found that I am unable to install .NET framework 3.5 after patching windows 2012 R2

The initial install of Windows 2012 R2 shows the Feature ".NET 3.5 Framework Features" as having a status of "Removed".

It is initially possible to install this feature as long at the original install media is in the DVD Drive.

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/dn482071.aspx and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2734782

While this works on the intial install, I have found that after you have patched a server, using Windows Update, you can no longer install the feature.

I have not found a work-around yet.

"Blinky" TDOA RDF Detector

Our local Amateur Radio club is building a Radio Direction Finding TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) detector that has LED's to indicate the direction (Left or right) of the fox. Here are the build instructions. (Note: this project was originally presented by NZ1J. See his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNqUKYkifOo&t=68s ) Here is the completed project: We start with the schematic: Note that you either install PIN Diode pairs s D3 and D2, or Diodes pair D1 and D4. The difference between these is the packaging. If you are ok with Surface mount, then install D1/D4. If you want discrete components use D3/D2. Next is the PCB. The PCB can be ordered using the GRBR files available from the author. The BOM for the electronic parts is as such: Doppler Direction Finder Bill of Materials 11/12/2021 Qty Part Digi-key Part Numbe...

Radio Direction Finding - TDOA

This article describes a few projects that I built from plans for Amateur Radio Fox Hunting. Basically, the hobby/sport is for someone to hide a few low power "Foxes", which are small transmitters that beep or send Morse Code, and then have a bunch of HAM's try to find them. The first project that I built was a Yagi Antenna (Directional receiver) and a 4MHZ Offset Attenuator. The attenuator is needed when you get close to the fox and you need to reduce the power of the received signal. I struggled with this setup because, on my first 2 fox hunts, there was too much reflection and multi-path interference. This causes false direction detection and if you are not mentally prepared for this, you want to throw all of your equipment into a garbage can and take up a different hobby. There are some truly strange individuals who find this frustration fun and enjoy making other people suffer, but I will leave that discussion for another day. Anyw...
