Futaba xjt Module

I have a FRSKY X12S radio and was fortunate to source the very rare Hobbico JM912FASST module that was originally made by Futaba to convert JR radio's to make it possible to use Futaba FASST Receivers. Futaba stopped producing these modules as they quickly realised that it was reducing the sales of ...

Horus X12S Firmware update

I have been using open TX since I bought this radio but decided to reinstall fros firmware so I could bring the FM module software up to date. I reinstalled fros FW 1.2.25 which was one of the first releases as I seemed to remember that firmware updates were best done incrementally because of change...

Re: opentx

The radio is a frsky x12s. I am under the impression that opentx is confined to the sd card. I cannot understand why companion can update the sd card to the latest openntx firmware but will not allow companion to read models. Also the update seemed to remove all the model memories so that when the t...

Range check Opentx Horus

The software for Frsky o.s gives an audible sound ' internal range check' when the transmitter is in range check mode (horus X12s). Is there any way a sound or track can be played during range check in opentx? Any help would be appreciated.

A word of warning about this charger. I thought that with all modern chargers it is impossible for them to charge the wrong cell count i.e you cannot charge a 2s lipo on a 3s setting. They normally report battery voltage incorrect and do not allow charging to proceed. I found out to my cost that I w...
