Ask for those from other teams or FIRST.
I was under the impression that IFI did firmware updates on the radios to help fix the problem at competitions. Did they really approve the use of past radios? I would imagine that there would be quite a few issues with this, especially since the radio tree on the field was outfitted with 2007 radios. Are the new radios compatible at all with the old ones?
