Now that the FAA has give all manufacturers 18 months to comply and install this technology on all of their drones and owners have up to 2 years following 18 months to comply with this requirement is it reasonable to expect that some developer or developers will create retro-fit systems for owners of older drones such as the Phantom series? I am not sure if it is even possible to retrofit the older Phantoms like the 3 etc. If not, I am left with a useless investment... Maybe now is the time to sell the thing...

Thoughts?

Lessee, 2 years plus 18 months equals 42 months. Who knows what is coming down the pike in that time, either in terms of a retrofit system for Phantoms - or a better and less expensive sUAS? I sure don't know. In the meantime, I intend to enjoy doing a lot of P3P flying over the next 42 months without worrying about remote IDs.
 
Depends on how much you are enjoying your drone. I need Phantoms for their lifting capability and there's nothing close in the price range. If it becomes obsolete then I will start looking. Have plenty of time.

What are you lifting with a Phantom?
