No, we are still selling all of the products that we have stock, but the chip shortage killed our ability to produce new Nano receivers.
Our allotment of chips is still the same as it was 2 years ago, and that is March of 2023.
RE: out of the rx biz? - rlocke - 08-14-2022
that is very sad. i hope it happens in march '23. your products are primo.

I don't see a shortage of other manufactures receivers.
There has to be some chips available somewhere.
All of our Extreme Link transmitters are useless for anything new without a Receiver.
Don't just sit back, try to find some.
RE: out of the rx biz? - XPS - 10-13-2022
We were just informed that any new orders (placed right now) will not be processed until October 2024. If it were not the fact that we have been on allocation we would not be getting any chips (PIC microcontrollers) in the spring of next year.
There are no chips (main CPU for the Nano) to 'find' because they don't exist anywhere. They have not even been produced by Microchip in over a year, and those went to other suppliers ahead of us in the queue. We can't re-design the receiver without going through FCC to re-certify the product and there is really no availability of small size CPUs available.

any news on nano availability?

We were suppose to have chips in June, but that got moved out to October. We are now seeing these chips from 3rd party vendors (like Digikey, Mouser, etc.) so we are looking to see if we can purchase enough from one of the vendors to make a normal production run. If not, then we will have to wait until our allocation is released.

anything new on nanos?
RE: out of the rx biz? - XPS - 04-05-2024
We still have not received our allocation. We have to make a minimum run of 1K pieces at a time (which is very small run), and we have fewer than half of that many of the chips necessary at this point. It doesn't make sense charge $18 more for a Nano just to do a short production run. There is already a price increase which we are going to try to absorb. We are suppose to have our allocation "some time soon".
In the mean time, we do have several samples that we put together with the new chips, just for testing to make sure there were no changes to the chip (it happens!) and we can let some of those go. PM or email for details.
