G'day all,

I'm getting back into RC Flight and am after some help with my radio selections. I have bought a DSX9 Tx for $AU350, but need a basic receiver thats compatible.

I was thinking a Spektrum AR500 for just a basic training aircraft. But with all this DSM2, 2.4GHz, I'm not quite so sure whats compatible with what anymore.

Any thoughts are appreciated

I had to look up the DSX9 as I've never seen it here.

It looks like a re-labeled JR 9303... which is a good thing...

Yes it will work just fine with ANY Spectrum or JR DSM2 receivers.

The only ones you need to avoid are the DSM Park Flyer receivers.

Goodday mate!
You bought a great Transmitter. I n the instruction booklet, that should be supplied with that transmitter should give that information. From what I looked up, it is a duplicate of the JR 9303, which is a 9 channel 2.4 GHZ Transmitter with 30 model memory and Model Match, which I don't think any other MFGR's can duplicate today. I had Spectrum DX7, and stepped up to the JR9503, which has 50 model memory plus backlight and other's. I can use all the RX's I had without switching to something else.
Anyway if ya buy a 9 channel Transmitter, but not going to use them all, then go with at least a 4 or 5 channel RX. I myself would but the AR 7000,( 7 channels)for a starter and go to theAR 9000for more channels. Sooner or later you will want more channels availible, so why buy one that limits the capaibility of tthe Transmitter? Why buy a 9 channel Transmitter and have a 3 channel RX??? I don't get it.
Just as a note, All JR ''s will work with Spectrumand vise versa but they have to be 2.4 GHZ.. Same thing.
When ya get a little bigger RX, that leaves you more options,like dual batteries, voltage moniters etc. if ya choose to do so.
Have a Great day! Fly .

Dont buy the AR500. I wouldn't buy anything less than a AR6200, but you should start a AR7000. Just don't buy a AR500..... (your gonna have to trust me on this one) Scoot
