No - it's not a $2.00 FOB, but what's your time and money worth to buy
products that are potted and unusable?

...time is money...at least for me it is...so spending
anything more than an hour at my contract rate, to me, and only me,
quickly outweighs the $50-100 usd that it might cost to purchase

Putting the bashed-together
device into a commercial site? That's why hams get thrown out. That's
just me, though. I'm sure the price of Kevin's device, the upgraded
dongle from Repeater Builder, or Dave Kramer's URI in terms of being
tested and proven working, when what your time is worth is considered,
are actually cheaper.
I detect a shill, and a cleverly crafted release of a product.
While I am able to plug a handful of two-dollar USB audio devices into an RPI3 and use the onboard I/O for signalling, I am probably going to go and do that.
Good luck! Sounds like the millionaire hams love it already! Us poor church mice will stick with the <$100 solution - that is, for the entire node - not just for a single USB audio device!

It wasn't planned, Steve. I simply took advantage of an opportunity. It was probably a little premature, but whatever.

No one is going to get rich from a $35 USB radio adapter - considering the cost of the circuit board and components. Genuine C-Media CM119A's are not easily sourced, as there are LOTS of fakes out there. My product considers the spirit of amateur radio, allowing someone to build something, learn about it, and save money.
If you feel the advantages of this product offering doesn't merit its price, that's okay. But, it does have several advantages over a simple FOB, and it's obvious you didn't read about it to see what they are. So, I'll take that into consideration for what it's worth.
