FLIGHT LOG RECORDING-
FADES HIGHER THAN DSM2
Note that DSMX moves through the band while DSM2
finds two quiet channels and remains on those channels.
Consequently because DSMX operates on quiet and
noisy channels, it’s common to have more Antenna Fades
than when using DSM2, when used in busy 2.4GHz
environments. When taking flight log data readings, the
Frames and Hold Data are important and should be used a
reference while Fades are insignificant due to the nature of
frequency hopping. A 10-minute flight will typically result in
less than 50 Frame Losses and no Holds.
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.
ARE DSM2 TRANSMITTERS
ELIGIBLE FOR A DSMX ADD-ON?
Yes. DX8 owners can simply download Spektrum AirWare ™
v2.0 software from spektrumrc.com and update the firmware
using their SD card. All DSM2 transmitters, except the
DX5e, are eligible for the add-on for $75 by sending them
to the Horizon Hobby service center. DSM2 receivers and
transmitter modules are not eligible for the DSMX add-on.
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 complete
details on this as well as the many other reasons Spektrum
is the leader in 2.4.
NOTICE: While DSMX allows you to use more than 40
transmitters simultaneously, when using DSM2 receivers,
DSMX receivers in DSM2 mode or transmitters in DSM2
mode, do not use more than 40 transmitters simultaneously.
SPEKTRUM DX5E 5-CHANNEL
DSM FULL RANGE SYSTEM
Spektrum DX5e 5-channel system incorporates 2.4GHz
DSM technology offering full beyond-the-limits-of-sight
range and is ideal for sport-sized electric, gas and glow-
powered 5-channel or fewer airplanes. No longer will
you have to wait for a frequency pin or be concerned that
someone may inadvertently turn on to your same frequency.
With Spektrum DSM technology, when you’re ready to fly
simply turn on, and go flying!
