Default Spectrum Module

Danny,

Would using the 10x Spectrum Module give the transmitter the benefits of the faster response time as well as the model match?

Thank you

Rob

I think you will find that model match is a function of the transmitter and not the RF section/module. Therefore a replacement module would not have the model match functionality. As for response time, I cant answer that one.

I have been told that the module will give you the speed of PCM or a bit faster, but not as fast as a radio that has the 2.4 built in. Dennis

That is what I assumed, maybe the speed of ppm.

The system speed will be the same or slightly faster than PCM. Model Match and Servosync are only available with systems that are built with Spektrum built in.

Thank you,

Any idea on how the 12x will compare to the 10x? Any hint of pricing?

Default RE: Spectrum Module

Thank you for the fast replies Danny,

Will the 6100 receiver worth with a 10x and the spectrum module? (for fomies) and if I order the module plus the 9 channel receiver will it work with the 12 x when it comes out for giant scale.

Also from what you know is the programing on the 12x going to be closer to the 10x or 9 channel?

Thank you again.

All DSM2 receivers will work with the modules; AR6100, AR7000, and AR9000.

The 12X will support all of the listed receivers stated above.

As for programming, we will just have to wait and see. I am pretty sure we won't let you down.

Thank you John. Just FYI you might want to update the website on the 6100 receiver to indicate that it will work with the module as well as the 9 and 12 channel radio. As of now it says it will only work with the dx7.

Thank you again,

Rob

Default RE: Spectrum Module

When putting the DSM2 module in my JR8103 how does the antenna work. Is that wire from the module to the antenna external?

If not already, when will these systems be available?

How does the range on DSM2 Rx's compare with 72mhz Rx's?

Does the 9303 with DSM2 technology not have a removeable module on the back?

I hear talk of speed of PCM or PPM. Is PCM faster than PPM and 2.4Ghz is faster than these?

Yes, the Spektrum module wire is external. The 9 channel JR system will be available soon. The range is similar, they are both line of sight systems. The X9303 2.4 does not use a module. PPM is faster than PCM, the Spektrum module installed in an existing system is roughly the same speed or slightly faster than PCM. Dedicated systems such as the X9303 2.4 are much faster.

Excellent. Thank you. I am looking forward with great antisipation to getting one of these modules for my 8103. Then hopefully a x9303 2.4. This is great news.

I plan to route the external module wire via the TX case so it won't dangle around. If I cut a hole next to the module and the other hole next to the antenna. Then route the wire through these holes while installing so that most of the module wire length are hidden in the TX back cover. Will this cause any interference?

I can't really comment on the performance of systems that are modified.

Danny, is this module compatible to the pins in Graupner MC22 with the assumsion that I link them up with some wires? If yes, I will consider to purchase a MC22 without module and put in the DSM2 from Spektrum.

I'm not familiar with that system so I do not know. If it uses a standard JR module the Spektrum module should work.

The modules should be starting to ship very soon in the US, with additional shipments coming soon.

Default RE: Spectrum Module

Danny,

Is the 6100 rx suitable for a pylon racer like the Sokol, electrical setup will be 3s 2100, 3 wind motor. The Sokol is a fibreglass model. Also would the 6100 be suitable in a balsa pylon the same size as the sokol on the same electricals.

I cannot wait for my module, i have purchase 6 x 6100 rxs ready to go.

Thanks
Rory

In a pylon racer, I'd guess that you will surpass the typical range of a park flyer, so I would not recommend it.
