Can you clarify what this means?. Please don't say that the 302s
manufactured while Cambridge operated from Martinsville are no longer
approved.

The CAI Inc. (Horn Lake) approval document covers all 302s currently in
the field, and future production of 302s by Horn Lake.

I confirm what Marc said above. A 302 is a 302 whether it was purchased
through Martinsville or Horn Lake. The same with the older models 10,
20 and 25. The build-standard of units originating from Martinsville or
Horn Lake was the same, as far as IGC is aware.

All previous IGC-approvals for Cambridge recorders continue under the
terms of the two IGC-approval documents now on the gliding/gnss web
pages under the Cambridge name. One document is for the 302 series, the
other for the earlier models 10, 20 and 25.

The difference for people who used to deal with Martinsville is that any
future servicing or updates will be through normal commercial
arrangement with Cambridge Aero Instruments Inc at Horn Lake, Memphis,
MI. The details given on their IGC-approval documents a

Note on manufacturer codes:

In November 2003, the IGC GFA Committee produced different manufacturer
codes for Martinsville to use, to differentiate their production from
that of Horn Lake. These codes were never used, as far as we know, and
there should be no recorders out there with the new codes. If there
are, would the owner(s) please email me and we will get the situation
sorted out.

These new codes for Martinsville were CLC and M (standing for Cambridge
LLC and Martinsville), compared to the traditional Cambridge codes of C
and CAM for use with IGC format files and *.CAI for the legacy recorder
binary files.
