FrSky Tandem X18RS TD-ISRM RS 900MHz/2.4GHz Mode 2
FrSky Tandem X18RS TD-ISRM RS 900MHz/2.4GHz Mode 2
The FrSky Tandem X18RS is a dual-band telemetry radio system developed based on valuable feedback from the extensive FrSky community. Experience with previous radios has enabled the introduction of numerous new features.
Description:
When you are investing in a new radio and considering what requirements are important to you, if weight and comfort are primary considerations, followed by the benefit of the excellent system features of ETHOS, then the FrSky Tandem X18 series radios are obvious appropriate choices.
The Tandem X18 series dual-band telemetry radios benefit from an enhanced ergonomic design with rounded and more comfortable hand grips, along with an improved case design to make the radio fully stable when standing. The radio includes easy-to-reach sliders and switches, 4 standard stick trims with additional 2 extra trims added to provide more flexibility with flight attitude adjustments while operating the radio. The X18 series include further enhancements with integrated flash storage which improves and simplifies storage operation and use, and the interior of the radio has been designed with space and weight in mind, while still keeping all ETHOS setting and control features for the pilot to enjoy.
TD-ISRM RS RF PERFORMANCE:
With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link with multiple operating combinations of RF modes, the TANDEM X18RS versions are equipped with the TD-ISRM RS built-in RF module which is capable of supporting multiple protocols (like TW, TD, etc).
The TD-ISRM RS RF module has the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of working under ACCESS 2.4G and R9 modes with the same module. In this configuration, the ACCESS 2.4G receiver and R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This further enhances the RF signal’s reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operations scenarios.
UPGRADED ROBUST ANTENNA HANDLE & EXTERNAL LoRa ANTENNA CONNECTORS:
The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing tough conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is better suited for comfort gripping but also does not compromise the antenna’s performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
The X18RS is also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced long-range control.
UPGRADED DISPLAY AND COMPONENTS & 45°/60° TRAVEL ADJUSTABLE MC18 GIMBALS:
X18RS uses the upgraded 800×480 resolution screen with great visibility under sunlight. The primary components, including trim caps and knobs, are all made from metal, offering rugged quality and enhanced durability for outdoor use. The MC18 Gimbals are also CNC metal mechanized and can be adjusted to a 45° travel position from the original 60° setup out of the box.
