While a do like the old radio for things like being at home, on the field I would take the new radio hands down over the old one. I saw multiple times where multiple teams were using 5+ Mbps of bandwidth, and the field had no problems. The dlinks went into death mode in a situation like this, and it was not a solvable problem. Once these radios were connected, barring a power issues their connection to the field was miles above the old ones and I would never want to go back.
