I doubt if you'll regret it. Many of the early problems were caused by
poor contact between the microcontroller and its socket. Later
version used a better quality socket and the early ones can be made
fully function by following a service bulletin that improves the
contact with the original socket. It an easy fix that any electronics
amateur would be capable of doing. (A while ago Microaire prevented
public access to the SBs but I have PDFs if anyone needs one)

Thanks for the information on the dual scan mode. I don't have that
but it sounds like are useful upgrade.

I don't have to persuade you since you already decided on Microaire,
but I'd never want a glider radio that didn't have pilot adjustable
squelch level. It allows monitoring of safety calls from close
gliders while shutting off the distant chatterers. Break the squelch
before calling ground crew when out on course.
