Drone Hibernation and RID

[Captain Spock]

Hiya. We recently moved to Florida from New Mexico. Due to the timing of the move, a lot of our stuff remained in boxes for a long time i.e., a year. My mini2 and accessories were buried and I just opened the right box and gathered all my equipment. After charging, I did a couple of test flights and it all worked coming out of hibernation! But catching up on my reading here and elsewhere I found that a lot has progressed about RID. Bewildering cross references: : B4UFLY is gone, etc. some say "Yes" some say "No" on RID

BOTTOM LINE QUESTION 1: Do i need an RID module (mounted; mini2 not RID capable) as a recreational pilot who did TRUST and registered with the FAA in 2021?
SORTA BOTTOM LINE QUESTION 2: I would appreciate any thoughts and recommendations for external mounted RID for my mini2 "antique."
Have mercy; I am an old man . . .

A Mini 2 drone which weighs less than 250g flown strictly for recreational purposes does not need RID in the US.
