Just How Good is DSMX?

In multiple tests, 100 DSMX systems were operated simultaneously for extended periods

of time. During these tests each of the 100 systems was monitored in ﬂight and on

the ground. In every test not a single case of RF link loss, latency increase or

control degradation was experienced or recorded.

Is DSMX Compatible with DSM2?

Yes. DSMX is fully compatible with all DSM2 hardware. In fact, many pilots may ﬁnd the

DSM2 equipment they have now is all they will ever need. Even if a new DSMX transmitter

eventually comes along that they really want, all the DSM2 receivers they have now will

work with it.

It is important to note, however, that while DSMX is compatible with DSM2, the only way

to experience the full beneﬁts of DSMX in a busy 2.4 environment is by pairing a DSMX

transmitter with a DSMX receiver.

Can DSM2 Transmitters be Upgraded to DSMX?

Yes. DX8 owners can simply download Spektrum AirWare

™

v2.0 software from

spektrumrc.com and update the ﬁrmware using their SD card. DX6i transmitters

manufactured after October 2010 can be upgraded using instructions provided on

spektrumrc.com. All other DX6i DSM2 transmitters can be upgraded for $75 by sending

them to the Horizon Hobby service center. DSM2 receivers and transmitter modules cannot

be upgraded to DSMX.

Does DSMX have ModelMatch and ServoSync?

Yes. DSMX will provide you with these and other exclusive Spektrum advantages you

already enjoy with DSM2. Want to know more about DSMX? Visit spektrumrc.com for
