So doesn't this put us back to the same situation as when Heathkit got a patent for their "Most Accurate Clock" kit that used the timecode from the HF signals on WWV and WWVH? No one wanted to make radio clocks because of the patent.
Has there been any talk about how available the chip will be? My attitude is that I'll build whatever I want to for myself.
