which version Taranis do I have?

Post by Tr3TopFlyer »

Having just received my Taranis (purchased from Aloft Hobbies) I assumed that I got the latest version, and on the transmitter cover it has the serial number X9D007984B01, which I assumed the B means rev B, however, on the inside of the compartment is a date code which reads A01 US AH 01/01/2013. So which version do I have? Is there another way to tell?

I've heard it's the serial.
Anyway all radios delivered since like 4 months ago are the "latest".

The date code would indicate that it was manufactured over a year ago. That's why I'm questioning which I have.

The Taranis didn't even exist on 1/1/2013, that was about the time when the first prototypes were made...

So whatever it is it's not relevant. Could be the version of the case mould, certificate or whatever but certainly not a date of manufacture of the whole radio.

Wayne at Aloft told me the way to tell is if you plug the charger in and the green LED blinks for a little while and then goes solid, that's a version B (which mine does). Thanks Kilrah.
