This Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D (the “ Amendment No. 1 ”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2007 (the “ Schedule 13D ”).

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

Harris initially entered into the Formation Agreement, which provided for the Contribution and Merger, for investment purposes and to accomplish the contribution of MCD to the Issuer simultaneously with the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer with and into Stratex.

On March 31, 2009, Harris announced that its Board of Directors approved the spin-off to its shareholders of all of its equity interest in the Issuer. Immediately prior to the spin-off Harris intends to exchange all of its Class B Shares for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Class A Shares ”), of the Issuer and to distribute those Class A Shares in the form of a taxable pro rata stock dividend to Harris shareholders (the “ Distribution ”). The spin-off dividend will be payable on May 27, 2009 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2009, the record date for the spin-off dividend. In the Distribution, Harris shareholders will receive approximately .24 of a Class A Share for every share of Harris common stock they own as of the record date. Reference is made to the Harris press release regarding the Distribution, dated March 31, 2009, which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated into this Item 4 of this Schedule 13D by reference.

As a result of the Distribution, the Investor Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below) will terminate pursuant to its terms and, among other things, Harris will no longer have the right to appoint or elect any directors of the Issuer.

The responses set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 4.

Except as described elsewhere in this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference into this Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of Harris or, to the best of Harris’ knowledge, the persons listed on Schedules I-A and I-B have any current intention, plan or proposal which relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5. Interest in the Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

As of the date hereof, Harris beneficially owns 32,913,377 Class B Shares, which, as of March 31, 2009, represented approximately 55.9% of the common stock outstanding of the Issuer. The persons listed on Schedules I-A and I-B, other than Dr. James C. Stoffel, do not beneficially own any of the Issuer’s stock. Dr. James C. Stoffel currently owns and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 10,547 Class A Shares and owns an additional 14,117 Class A Shares subject to vesting requirements. Such 14,117 shares were granted to Mr. Stoffel on March 19, 2009 by the Issuer pursuant to an equity award program for the Issuer’s directors.

Under the terms of the Class B Shares and the Investor Agreement (as described in Item 6 which is incorporated into this Item 5 by reference), Harris has the right at any time to exchange each outstanding Class B Share currently held by Harris for one Class A Share and vice-versa.
