I think they are pretty nice radios. They have a smaller concatenation packet size of 2200 versus 4032 for c+ revisions.
They have a higher gain than the newer smaller units, which makes up for the lack of modulation 8 in best case, and providers higher gain in normal situations. I know the AUs have some additional noise immunity settings in later revs, but I don't think that's an option in the SUs. The C+ revs let you use the reset button on the newer power bricks to factory reset the radio. Older versions require the software tool to do a factory reset. Not a big deal anyhow. The smaller power bricks (black and sometimes white) are much more reliable than the original poundcake shaped power supplies. The original ones aren't bad compared to other ones on the market. Make sure the power supplies come with the radio, or the radios are really inexpensive, as the power supplies command a pretty good sum of money.
