At least the middle of this year is the latest news from Microair for
the new radio.

brought the radio off the shelf at Sun n Fun.

FYI. There is a problem with the first 300 MicroAir Transponders which
result in it failing to transmit. The units test OK on the ground but
will fail in live use. It appears there there was a software parameter
setup wrong which caused the problem. There are a number of rather
peeved aviators in Australia and New Zealand who have been trying to
work out why they were having problems and only after much questioning
did Microair accept that there was a problem. Considering that these are
TSO'd units there are questions being asked now as to why an AD wasn't
issued.
