Re: taranis wont turn on

Is this another Taranis/Taranis Plus firmware mixup, XRay? If so, you should still be able to connect and reflash via USB Using OpenTX Companion if you power up with both trim tabs pressed towards the center, then plug USB in. I've verified I can do this blind on both 2.0.08 and 2.0.10. You should a...

Current production, and yes.

Aloft is rarely out of anything FRSky for more than 2 weeks nowadays; I'd guess the Taranis Plus will be back in stock on a similar timetable.

Turnigy 9XR Pro Speaker Mod

Like the Taranis, the speaker on the 9XR Pro is somewhat anemic. This can be blamed on both the fact of using a small Mylar pancake speaker, and the fact of trying to use said speaker in "free-air" mode with no soundbox in front and no resonating chamber behind the diaphragm. I'm working o...

There is an issue with the Multi-Port used in the Turnigy 9XR Pro, which I discovered when removing the main board to inspect my LCD. The original 9XR had the Multi-Port housing made so that it pulls straight up away from the board for removal, allowing access to a screw underneath. The way my Pro i...

Re: Frsky XJT wont stop beeping in 9XR PRO

It may be a couple other issues, both of which I experienced with my 9XR and the XJT; both caused by the XJT being powered but not receiving a PXX signal from the TX. 1) - Pins not long enough in the JR Module Bay - Mine came with pins in the module bay that were just plain too short. It had power, ...

"SWR" should always be below 51, or a popup warning will appear and an audio alarm will sound to warn you to check the radio's antenna. The value itself is of little meaning. It is NOT a real SWR reading, just a very approximate antenna quality indicator that's not meant to be used beyond...

Re: 9XR-PRO Hacks and Fixes

I had similar variations on 3 different 9Xes. My 9XR wouldn't work at all with the ORX DSM2/DSMX module until I replaced the pin header with a 19mm set; the pins are now 14mm to the bottom of the JR bay, and my 9XR Pro's pins are 12mm.

Re: Voice files for 9XR-PRO with ersky9x

Well, yeah; but that's also a lot to do with using them "free-air". A speaker needs a sealed enclosure to provide some back-pressure, otherwise it suffers "over-excursion"; a fancy term meaning the cone travels much further than the designers intended and things get damaged. The ...
