FrSky Taranis X9D Plus 2019 Digital Telemetry Drone Remote Control with FrSky RX8R Pro Receiver - Silver

The transmitter requires a 2S Li-ion or LiPo battery (7.4V nominal, 6.5-8.4V operating range) and is specifically designed for this chemistry; LiFePO4 batteries are not supported. The battery is not included with the radio system due to shipping regulations. The internal battery compartment accommodates packs up to approximately 100 x 30 x 26.5 mm, with an 80 x 30 x 24 mm pack recommended for optimal fit.

The transmitter, equipped with the internal ISRM-S-X9 module, is natively compatible with all FrSky receivers using the ACCST D16 and the newer ACCESS communication protocols. This includes the bundled RX8R Pro and the full range of X, R, and G series receivers. It supports features like digital telemetry (Smart Port), SBUS output, and channel redundancy when used with compatible dual-receiver setups.

Yes, the Taranis X9D Plus 2019 supports connection to flight simulators via its built-in Mini USB port. When connected to a PC, it can be recognized as a USB joystick. You must configure the model settings within OpenTX to output the correct channel mappings. The wired trainer port (DSC) can also be used to connect to another transmitter for real-world pilot instruction.

ACCESS is FrSky's advanced communication protocol offering faster binding, a higher baud rate for telemetry, and lower overall latency compared to the previous ACCST D16 standard. It also provides enhanced features like transmitter-to-transmitter wireless updates, receiver registration, and encrypted communication. The 2019 edition supports both ACCESS and ACCST D16, ensuring backward compatibility with existing receiver fleets.
