       I have an application that requires that I take a standard signal
from an R/C receiver intended for a single servo and generate an on/off
signal with it.  The servo signal is the usual 22ms square wave with an
on time of from 1ms to 2ms.  We would consider > 1.5ms to be "on".
Is there a standard way to do this?  Certainly one could do it with
a 555 timer and some standard TTL, but is there a solution with fewer
parts?  Please, no schemes involving servomotors driving mechanical switches.
