jonryan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Can we come up with a table of which RXs will work with which TXs? My head is spinning trying to get it clear. And later, can we talk about why Spektrum saw fit to have two different and incompatible TXs, both called DX6? Preferably in the presence of the genius who came up with that idea? Hopefully, the result will be a definitive list of what works with what. To begin, which of these will bind to a (new) DX6? And what other transmitters will match these?

FlyinBrian Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The reason for the two different DX6s is that European regulation meant that the original Spektrum DSM2 protocol could no longer be used. As far as I am aware most DSMX receivers will also work with DSM2 but the earlier DSM2 rx will not recognise a DSMX Tx. Check the Spektrum or Horizon hobby websites for which rx works with which protocol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 All those will bind Jon, to tge DX6, but surely you don't have all of them? Just standardise to simplify your set ups Edited By Denis Watkins on 20/09/2016 20:28:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcaddict Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 yes I just bought a new DX8 G2 to replace my DX6i and 3 of my orangeRX will not work (dsm2) the other 7 dsm2/dsmX are fine replacements on order !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The answer is it depends on your Tx. Some Spektrum Tx ( for example DX6i ) are DSM2 , some DSM2 and DSMX some DSMX only. Tx imported into the EU after ( I think ) 1st Jan 2015 can only be DSMX. Before that the a Tx could be DSM2 and DSMX, after that they could not be imported into EU but possibly might be on sale in the rest of the world. So it is possible an early new type /black DX6 could be both DSM2 and DSMX but ones on sale now in Britain and EU would be DSMX only unless they are very old stock. Spektrum issued this table of compatibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonryan Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Denis Watkins No, But someone does, and he's selling them. This FB site: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1374378112873364/ Sadly, the ones I wanted have gone, and in any case I think he's asking too much for used kc Thanks for that. I will memorize it at once. Possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonryan Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 To add: That list doesn't mention the DX6, just the DX6i (twice). Ho hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That list is from an AR610 Rx instruction book. There may be a later issue somewhere. However it gives you the info you need - - it shows DSM2 Tx and another column for DSMX Tx. you need to check your own Tx to see if it is both DSM2 and DSMX or is just DSMX only. An early black new type DX6 could possibly be both DSM2 and DSMX but ones sold recently in EU would be DSMX only. On my DX6i ( last type made ) the menu shows Modulation and appears to be changeable to or from DSM2 but in fact it does not change -it's DSMX only. So it is necessary to check the actual Tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Posted by jonryan on 20/09/2016 19:18:03: And later, can we talk about why Spektrum saw fit to have two different and incompatible TXs, both called DX6? It may be because in the USA (& maybe other parts of the world) all Spektrum Transmitters still have the ability to transmit DSM2. The sale of new DSM2 protocol transmitters has been prohibited in Europe since Jan 2015 when DSM2 ability was inhibited by the tranny's firmware.

BackinBlack Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have a 1st generation (2012 model) DX8, depending on which region I select in the set up menu I can use DSM2 only, DSMX only or both. Don't know if the earlier DX6 models have these options, might be worth checking, then you could use any receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
