Actually, the '06 radios are also RS-422 (none of these radios were ever RS-232). The reason that IFI is not re-using the old radios is that they cannot get any more, as Electrowave (the suppliers of the radios) cannot get parts to build any more--this was in another thread on CD somewhere (I forget where ).

I am not happy about this either. I have also had critical parts discontinued for a product that I designed--not a good place to be.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
