I traced back to these guys after buying an internet camera from a booth seller at Dayton Hamvention. The unit worked great for about half a year and then started refusing to boot. The bottom line is that the prices are great but there's no recourse to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer is willing to use that fact by using poor components, etc.

I have been pushing the issue of Open Source in Amateur Radio for years. It's worked out pretty well. I evangelized the concept of codec2, an open replacement for the AMBE codec in D-STAR, and got someone with more DSP smarts than me to write it. I also founded No-Code International, I'm glad that fight is over.
