Greetings Everyone,
I have been out of the game for a while, but getting back into it now.
I still use an old Nooelec R820T dongle that is easily 15 years old or more.
Is there any advantages to upgrading to their new v5 SDR dongle? 
Generally I think if it's not broken, don't fix it.  I am interested in thoughts on upgrading.

Are you receiving aircraft messages and for the range you'd expect for your setup?

If you are, no need to change.  My "dongles" are 10 years old or more and working just fine.
