Buy the radio master tx16s then.... It'll last you a life time, and us not really that hard to program.

Its not that hard you can watch some vids if you need to. I recently upgraded from a spektrum dx6 to a jumper t18 v2 with express lrs. I really love it there are a few small things I like about the spektrum better but overall the t18 is better imo.

 

[Mr_Stripes]

The Jumper t18 is everything that the tx16s is just 50$ cheaper. All of the original problems with the t18 have been fixed with the v2. They got rid of the r9, put in internal charging, added touch screen capability...

I don't think your going to get any "real" spektrum TX less then $150, unless you go used. (expensive name-brand in general)

if your ok with a gamepad style TX this is OpenTx and has a 4-1 multi-protocal module and is under $150

(there are some other options in that style and price range, but I don't see them on RDQ and don't have time to hunt other places for them).

t pro has meh trim buttons

yah, not a lot of options for sub $150 (even your link is over that)

After 150 5$ is negligible.

 

[Mr_Stripes]

Also t18 has big bright screen and good trims.

 

[JasonK]

looks like the Zoro just game out (the review videos just dropped all over YouTube today)->

$100 has 'good' trims, big screen, etc.

do you need ro add a module to the zoro to fly spektrum?

do you need ro add a module to the zoro to fly spektrum?

It looks like it has the RadioMaster 4-in-1 internal, so if that is the case, it does DSMX (Spektrum) out of the box.

It also ships with EdgeTX, which I think is better than OpenTX (and backward compatible). $100 for a quality RM radio is going to put further pressure on Spektrum - they have to be seeing the momentum shifting away from them. And despite people saying "RadioMaster can't do AS3X/SAFE", that is not true.

Between the open sourced ExpressLRS and OpenTX/EdgeTX, all the closed transmitters and protocols are feeling the heat. BETAFPV even has a cheap ExpressLRS 5 channel receiver out: https://betafpv.com/products/elrs-micro-receiver

Even if you order the Zorro 4-in-1 version (which if it has the CYRF6936 chip, will do DSMX), you can still upgrade to ExpressLRS protocol later with a ELRS module.

 

[JasonK]

If you get the 4-in-1 MPM version, it will do DSMX out of the box. if you get the 1 chip MPM or the ELRS version it will not.

I would recommend the t12 v2 by jumper. multi protocol and should work fine. 100 dollars

I wouldn't touch it ->

> Firmware: JumperTX (an open source Firmware set based on the OpenTX Project)

looks like they dumped OpenTX and made their own system instead, so your relying on Jump to keep it up to date with new stuff, unlikely to get edgeTX if you want to go that way, etc, etc.

sorry. I meant the plus. it has opentx. I looked into it a couple months back
