I have one of these and the range and performance are very good. Much better than my previous DSMX clone receivers.

Hi, I bought 2 of these and both failed to bind. I am in the UK and the protocol you use is different, this had me scratching my head and I updated the firmware (radiomasterrc.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/64000257762-r168-receiver-firmware-update-procedures) and it still failed after the update. The fix (EVENTUALLY) is that my TX16s uses FrSky LBT(EU) protocol, NOT the D16! Once I found this out, from Radiomaster. One of my receivers worked, the receiver I had firmware "upgraded", I had to install V1, not V2! Then that then worked no problem. Keep up the good work :)

Thank You SOOOOOOOOO MUCH for this Video. I was just about to give up ever having a radio system I could trust, or even use. I tried Taranis X9D PLUS SE, TWICE, and both were absolute GARBAGE!! They NEVER Worked at all, even with FrSky receivers. Then I tried RadioLink which worked okay, and Then------ RadioMaster. I have had fits trying to bind the R168 Receivers, but now---------- IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY !!! THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!! Can you tell me where I can buy that module you are using to set up , and test your radios??

It might be a dumb question, but can you also use a battery capacity checker and connect it to the battery while the rc plane is powered on? And then fine tune the battery voltage like you did in your video?
@RCVideoReviews
@RCVideoReviews 3 жыл бұрын
Sure, as long as you trust the voltage source. The whole idea is to ensure the sensor shows what the battery has.

If I want to run say a 6s battery. Could I just build a voltage divider with a couple of resisters and bring the voltage down to a workable voltage. I'm thinking a couple of 100K resisters so the drain is negligible and pick off the voltage from the center.
@RCVideoReviews
@RCVideoReviews 3 жыл бұрын
Yup. If you can do the math to get it low, and then on the radio multiply it back up, you sure can do that. I mentioned it in a recent Livestream. Just calibrate your telemetry to the actual voltage and you should be fine.

Thanks for the vid John, that was gonna be my next Rx purchase. Definitely interested in seeing how it performs on the plane, I am sure it will be good. I do have a question, as usual. The power from the flight pack comes from where, the positive on the balance lead or a wire soldered into the main power from the ESC connector?
@RCVideoReviews

You can get the power lead from any point on the positive wire between the battery and the + input of the ESC. Don't take anything coming from the ESC after the main positive voltage input.
