+<li>Wintec has modified the firmware on the WBT200 (and probably the
+WBT100 as well) to disable iTalk support, thus making more room in the
+flash memory for logging. This wouldn't be a problem if they had also
+disabled the protocol switch command. Users attempting to switch their
+Wintec receivers to iTalk will find their receiver is left in limbo;
+not emitting iTalk, and unable to switch back to NMEA either. A hard
+reset by removing all power sources (including onboard battery backup)
+is the only way to get the receiver to communicate again.</li>

<li>Some Garmin chips issue a bogus length field, too. This from the
outfit that likes to tout itself as the industry leader!</li>
