DSM1 and DSM2 Question

[Bert]

I have a Spektrum DSX6 which I bought from Als when they were doing that amazing £50 offer.

I know that the DX6 uses the DSM1 sytem and that the transmitter will only work with the AR6000 receivers. What I would like to know is whether the later transmitters with the DSM2 technology will work with the AR6000.

I'm a newbie on here so I apologise if this question has already been answered.

Yes. its the opposite that wont work EG: you cant use the DX6 with a dsm2 receiver- so effectively the only receiver that will work with the DX6 is the AR6000. ALL the receivers will work with DX6i and Dx7 etc. I use an AR6000 rcvr in a slope soarer controlled by DX7 Tx and it is a great little receiver actually. As for great offers, I got a brand new DX6i ( full range of course unlike the DX6 ) for just 40 pounds at the NATS

Thanks for that info. I bought the DX6 for my parkflyers to give that bit of extra safety, I've never had a problem with my 35 meg stuff in the park, but at £50 it was worth a punt.

I have too much money invested in my Multiplex radio gear to change over my bigger planes at the moment, but if I saw a DX6i at that sort of price I'd probably go for it for the better range. (Now I know it will work)  

Maybe I'll see something at the Hop Farm at the end of the month

Inwoods were the supplier.

I'll be at the hop farm too! Only 10 minuits drive. Who else is going?
