I understand that they are different items, and fully understand that a v1 controller will not work on a V2 aircraft.
But no one has spoken directly to the backward compatibility of the V2 standard controller.
I understand the chip example as well.
I'm an avid radio guy , so depending on the mode these new dual band radios utilize, i can see it leading to incompatibility. However, if they do use the same mode, and the only difference is the additional frequency band like autel has said, backward compatibly should be a thing.
My support ticket has been submitted, so I'll be waiting for the word straight from the horses mouth.
Thanks for all the replies though, I'll keep everyone updated when I receive my response.
