The FrSky X8R Advanced Telemetry Receiver is designed to enhance your drone’s performance with its impressive 16 channels and innovative Smart Port technology. This compact receiver is smaller than previous models while offering the same reliability and functionality you expect from FrSky. With the ability to transmit all 16 channels via the dedicated S.Bus output, this receiver stands out as a top choice among enthusiasts.
One of the key features is its compatibility with the new hubless digital sensors, allowing for seamless integration with your setup. Plus, if you have existing analog sensors, connecting them is easy by utilizing the old hub. You might wonder, how can you access all 16 channels? The answer lies in the S.Bus connection. With the FrSky S.Bus Decoder, you can convert digital signals into standard servo outputs. Alternatively, you can connect two X8R receivers to manage channels 1-8 on one and 9-16 on the other, providing flexibility tailored to your needs.
This receiver is also versatile, capable of operating in D8 Mode with various FrSky transmitter modules, ensuring you can enjoy the Smart Port features even in this mode. The new PCB antennas offer up to a 20% range increase compared to standard antennas, making it a wise choice for full carbon aircraft setups.
