I always wandering about that "amoj" logo. Some time ago I got
Oscilloquarz 8663 OCXO soldered to PCB with this logo. It has two sinus
and two square outputs, basic power supply and trimmer to change the
frequency. I could be wrong, but my impression is: the company creating
useful items using some salvaged parts.
