Spektrum & bus technology
#2
We support SRXL, which is an open industry standard championed by Multiplex. Our AR9020 and AR12x20 receivers provide SRXL output for use with our XP8000, an 8-servo control port.
Naturally, I cannot divulge where we're going with SRXL and X-Plus.

Please don't get annoyed because I'm just trying to understand this subject. According to the specs on the DX18 it has 2048 resolution on the first 10 channels. The X-Plus 8 module is designed to allow expansion of up to 8 servos for non-control surface functions such as bomb drops, lights, winches, retractable landing gear, and many more. These 8 channels only have the capability of accessories and are only 512 resolution. The JR x-bus technology can put any x-bus channel on a control surface allowing up to 4 servos per channel all of which can be programed individually. That is something Spektrum does not have. Both JR and Futaba have the technology, not just a 8 ch expansion system with 512 resolution that can not be used on a control surface. Am I missing something?

You asked about the bus, not the protocol or products, so I answered accordingly. Sorry.
The SRXL protocol we use for X-Plus channels also supports the 12 base channels at full 2048 resolution and speed/latency. There is not an X-Plus product at this time which breaks the channels out, but there is no technical reason why there couldn't be.
It sounds like you are asking now for a product which supports the full capabilities of the protocol. In that case I need to give the "sorry, I can neither confirm nor deny any potential new products or features" reply.
