I wonder if the affected FR manufacturers could add a mod to detect a

Interesting idea, but quite hypothetical when it comes to Cambridge.

Garrecht Avioncs seems to have source code for the GPS module, and
intends to provide a fix in that code for their Volksloggers. It should
be straightforward to add another 20 years of life that way.

As the details of the problem have come out, it's become clear that the
fix being applied to Cambridge units isn't very good and won't make them
as reliable as they were prior to November. Probably makes more sense to
just go buy a Nano or something similar if you need to replace the
logging capability.
