Curious, why is it a better radio ?

The digital encoder on the FSG2T doesn't work well if dirty, like digital encoders on other equipment. It's easy to clean. I recommend the same stuff as in the CAI303 thread:

Remove the radio, remove the dual concentric knobs, undo 4 screws, remove the face, squirt, replace everything.
Besides being easier to set up microphones and having variable squelch, the FSG2T deals with noise from USB stuff much better than the FSG71M.
Perhaps the 71M predated USB stuff in the cockpit?
