My understanding is that all FLARM units are compatible with each
other.

I assume that anyone willing to give up the 1090 MHz features and the
extended range, and who doesn't care what the FCC thinks, would be
happy using the classic FLARM in USA.

Regular FLARM units run on a frequency that is not permitted in the US.
