Denis Watkins Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Adam, is this the DSM2 transmitter? Was it new? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Lemon RX - I use FrSky for most of my models, but their ubercheap DSM2 6ch RXs have been great for me in lightweight low cost foamies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris larkins Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If you don't want to cut costs then stick to Spektrum! However........most of us do want to look for a cheaper alternative. I also have a DSX9 and I have used Lemon receivers with good success. I have one of their receivers with a built in Gyro and this works very well and has given rock solid RF performance, I can thoroughly recommend the Lemon telemetry units too as they work very well and are ridiculously cheap compared to the Spektrum offering considering they come with all sensors. They have also just released a range of receivers which have built in telemetry (as Spektrum and OrangeRx already do). BRC Hobbies stock them in the UK **LINK** If your transmitter is one of the earlier versions which still supports DSM2 don't be tempted to go down this route, DSMX is the way to go.

Would you mind elaborating on this Chris? Assuming his DSM9 is DSM2, what is wrong with going down the DSM2 route? What advantage will going down the DSMX route give as they will work but only in DSM2 mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Gary, the DSM2 cannot be legally sold new in this country, and was superceeded by DSMX. If you own DSM2 equipment, you can of course still use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks Denis. I realise that DSM2 transmitters can't be bought new (in the EU). Adam has bought a second hand DSX9 and is looking to buy receivers for it. Chris advised him not to go the DSM2 route, which has got me confused. Surely DSM2 receivers are what he should be buying, if he can get hold of them. If not, DSMX receivers should work, but in a backward compatible mode. PS - I have a DSX9 and use JR, Spektrum, OrangeRx and LemonRx DSM2 Receivers. Never had a problem with any of them. Just make sure that you are buying full range receivers, not park flyers.

What advantage will going down the DSMX route give as they will work but only in DSM2 mode? The early DSX9 Transmitters use the DSMX protocol but were also backwards compatible with older DSM2 receivers (my transmitter is one of those), this means that you have the choice of buying DSMX or DSM2 receivers and they will both work. My point was that IF you have this choice then DSMX receivers are definitely the way to go for some very well documented reasons. Of course if Adam's transmitter is one of the latest ones it will only use the DSMX protocol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris larkins Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I may have misread the original post, if the transmitter is the JR DSX9 then it will be DSM2. If it is the Spektrum DX9 then my post above will apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ahh - all clear now Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Colins 2 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi All, A little confusing but i think i will stick with origional JR Receivers where possible, however i will give the Lemon RX a look at. Thanks for all the info Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I've half a dozen JR921 Rx's that I've used for the last 7 years with my DSX12 & have found them to be bullet proof, never a moment's bother. They remain my default choice for my larger models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinBrian Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I use JR, Spektrum and Orange receivers with my DSX9 all work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
