Default Flightline FL-760 Experiences - Any Updates?

I have installed in my own current gliders, (3) FL-760's at this time (I
have all or part ownership of several gliders) have installed at least 3
more in our club member gliders over the past 2 or 3 years and have had
absolutely ZERO radio failures with the FL-760's...the best way I can say it
is "everytime I hit the PTT to call someone.they answer!" I'm not sure what
more you should expect from a comm transceiver...... I sold at least a
couple hundred FL-760 when I had W&W and I can remember maybe 2? actual
problems traced back to the radio and not to owner installtion
issues......... so IMHO these were outstanding in reliability and owner
satisfaction.....just a fine littel radio . Don't listen to the hogwash from
others who claimed high current drain, ect etc....that is so not an issue
with these

It has been about ~2 years since the last RAS article on this radio. At
that time things were very positive.

Now that time has elapsed some birthing pains may had become apparent. This
is similar to the early Microaires which definitely had some pains during
the early days - but which seems to have quieted down (IMHO - if you have an
early Microaire radio and have not sent your radio in for the latest service
updates it is well worth it).

I want to know if anyone has any positive or negative feedback that would be
useful for potential buyers of the Flightline radio.
