Perhaps at least half-answering my previous query...

At some point it might be difficult at best to come up with a reliable source of non-potted USB dongles. Maybe that time is upon us? With that in mind, I come up with this:
http://www.masterscommunications.com/products/radio-adapter/ra35.html

Now - this device is currently in beta testing and won't be available to the public for about a month, maybe less. I received a shipment of genuine C-Media CM119A chips today. Circuit boards will be produced after reviewing all of the feedback from the owners of the 10 units currently in the field.

No - it's not a $2.00 FOB, but what's your time and money worth to buy products that are potted and unusable? Maybe the features of such a device like the RA-35 makes it worthy of the asking price? I'll let that up to you to decide. I am assembling a list of those interested. Email direct.

Thanks,
Kevin
