yup, I've got that sim, and like it very much. (V 5 is now available, you'll be able to upgrade immediately if you choose to.)
ONE thing, that sim is capable of setting things like Expo and dual rates in the PROGRAM (so even if you don't have a computer radio, you can still use expo for example)
I'd suggest turning those features off and use only the radio's programming (otherwise you can end up with twice as much expo as you think you've got)
good luck!
