Sad.
  My 302 was stuck at their "new address", which turned out to be a storage 
unit, until it was forwarded to Cumulus Soaring for logger recalibration.

There's at least one company interested in picking up the CAI inventory and 
doing repairs. No guarantees of that.

Although you'd think he's the obvious choice, Gary at ClearNav does not 
presently have the time to work on CAI302s.

Are you all aware that Cambridge Aero has ceased trading?  They no longer 
manufacture, repair or maintain the 302 series of flight recorders.   Below is 
an e-mail from the CEO, Roger Routledge:
 
Dear Dealers and Friends of Cambridge,
I have spoken with many of you personally by telephone. Bad news travels fast. 
So it is already widely known in our community that the volume of business of 
Cambridge has for a considerable period of time been insufficient to sustain 
operations. At the end of March the time finally came to relocate the assets 
and vacate the space where we have conducted business for the last six years. 
We ceased operating at Executive Center Drive on April 1, 2013.  Because of the 
insufficiency of revenue from the business, we were forced to return all the 
business assets to the company’s lien holder, Roy A. Ridgeway.  Our intention 
was to continue with the business of repairs, calibrations, and sales of new 
instruments on an as-needed basis, buying the parts to do so from Mr. Ridgeway. 
 We tried this for two months, but it did not work out. The company’s main 
technician, Jeffery B. Bennett, has chosen to pursue other opportunities, and 
under the present
 circumstances the company could not recruit and train a replacement.
It is my sad duty to announce that Cambridge will no longer manufacture new 
instruments, repair instruments, or maintain and calibrate instruments.  Mr. 
Ridgeway is in possession of the company. Any inquiries regarding sales of 
spare parts may be directed to his attention.  His contact information is as 
follows:
 

   Roy A. Ridgeway

    2475 Scott Road

    Hernando, MS 38632
