I also use FrSky transmitters, I think we have 4 of them now… (and FrSky
receivers especially for gliders (more range, telemetry…).
At first glance they are not as user friendly as Spectrum, because they are
programmable and you can basically program them to do whatever you want once
you assign the channels….

Tom,
Larry is right about the firmware update. It is kind of tricky. You had to
update both the receivers and the internal transmitter module as well. But I
don't think that it applies to the multi-protocol module. That is why I was
suggesting the Lemon Spektrum module for your planes.
If you want some help, I could share what knowledge I have on the subject.

Tom, one thing I have learned is to make sure all the firmware be the same,
and I did upgrade mine, and have some tools to do the upgrades, but I would
have to go back to see how I did it.
I have learned a lot from this guy. https://youtu.be/0fNC2Jw1kxY

Same here an X9D+ that I don't use. I have the multi-protocol module
installed, but I've never been able to get it to bind with a Spectrum
receiver. If anyone is using FrSky & OpenTx, I'd like to get together with
them and learn how to get my transmitter working with my planes.
I have found it makes a good controller for simulation on my laptop,
because it supports a USB cable. I have the RF dongle, too, but I prefer
to use the USB cable.
I bought the X9D+ because FrSky records the transmitter stick inputs in its
telemetry stream as well as the sensors on the plane. Until recently
Spektrum telemetry only recorded the airplane measurands. That meant one
could know what the plane did, but one had no idea why it did what it did!
The new NX transmitters from Spektrum record transmitter variables, too.
Something to think about if you are considering a transmitter upgrade.
Cheers,
Tom

Anybody use the FrSky transmitter? If so, let me know
