Frsky x lite pro, its the new radio but I dont really like it and mine doesnt work very good. This may change soon and ill do a follow up review when it does but as it stands I think the much better option for this form factor is the standard x lite - bit.ly/Frskyxlite

Maybe he should fix that lady instead? :D In fact transmitter is complaining about missing link to selected model receiver which is now switched off for programming. So problem definitely persists (though it is not antenna related).

Perhaps you had a bad version. I am using it for a year now and I am very happy with it. Very good formfactor and good build quality. Using it with OpenTX and Access combined with the R9M Lite Pro. All my old R-XSR's where Access compatible.

@davidbray8652 4 года назад

I'm looking for new frsky transmitter (currently using FS-16 Flysky) with the same/similar form factor as the xlite. What would you recommend?

@HookerJoeFire 3 года назад

Same issue if you buy the new Archer with the old ISRM firmware. Found out you have to have matching the internal RF module as well as the receiver. Also found out the error you’re getting with the faulty antenna is related to an incorrect version of the ISRM module firmware being flashed to the module. I spent about 2 full days getting it all set and working. To use the older non-upgraded receivers you reflash back to the pre 2.0 ISRM firmware. Takes about 2 minutes and then you’re good. Reflash to 2.0 ISRM to talk to the newer receivers. Don’t have to rebind anything, but the a**pain involved to make this work in a mixed version fleet is stupid.

I can't believe that I can't use my XM+ receiver and Thanks for the information on updating. I can't believe what happened, I purchased my X-lite back in December and it won't fly across the street. At first I thought it was me but when I hooked up my X9D I had no problems. Now I need to get another one. But I don't think I will be getting the new X-lite unless I can just get the same one. Thanks again for the information I sure hope that I sill can get a old one.

no, D16 accst is not working with OpenTX2.3 on X-Lite Pro with internal rf module (ISRM-P). This option exist, but not works. Only one possibility to bind D16 accst receivers with X-Lite Pro is using external multiprotocol rf module like IRangeX IRX4 or Vantac MPM Lite.

I think it will help if you actually flash the ACCES firmware on the rxsr, instead of the ACCTS firmware. Latest ACCES firmware is from somewhere mid may (like two weeks old tops). I noticed you're flashing an old firmware from march. That might explain why everything is such a pain at the moment.

Stu the access firmware is purely to stop jumper from binding to frsky receivers . It’s is incripted you pay for them to protected their products from cloning . Sounds a bit like what happened to TBS with crossfire and the r9m . Lol 😂

@amisoftau2659 5 лет назад

Good point. It is also to lock out non-FrSky modules from the module bay. Yep they're adding encryption and module "verification". So we could have trouble with Crossfire and other after market modules in the future. Together with the fact that they've launched TWO new radios now both of which don't work with the majority of existing ACCST protocol receivers, makes their actions completely unacceptable. Anti-competitive marketing practices are ILLEGAL in many western countries.. and for good reason.

@licensetodrive9930 5 лет назад

People say if you use a Crossfire setup you're locked into their RX's, which is completely true, but they haven't just done like FrSky have and fragmented their user base by introducing another protocol into their ecosystem, locking out 3rd party transmitters and receivers including those built-in to flight controllers. I want to go the Crossfire route for RSSI reliability, but the cost....

@scottmarshall6766 5 лет назад

It's not really true you're locked into Crossfire. I use my X7S for all my older quads with FrSky receivers in them, and the newer quads with Crossfire use the plug in module. I don't even have to push a button, I just select the model I want to fly, and the radio selects the internal FrSky Tx or the Crossfire Tx in the back bay. I can even fly some of my planes that use FlySky, by popping in my FlySky module. Literally a 10 second swap out. Even though the Crossfire receivers are more expensive, (about $20 more than an XSR) - I find it's a no brainer when building a new quad, it's that much better all around it's worth the 20bucks. Knowing I can go up to 2 watts all automatically if I fly into trouble is $20 peace of mind for me. If I can see, I can fly it.

@caveymon 5 лет назад

Hmm, with the latest nightlies (or so I have read), it is possible to use crsf on the X9 Lite. The pinout for the add-on module is the same, just located differentnly. Which is remedied for now with some DIY 3D printed brackets. And ACCTS has been implemented in the latest nightlies as well. So I don't think it's as bad as most RU-vid influencers tend to proclaim (I'm looking at you JB). I'll see in a couple of weeks, when my X9 Lite arrives together with an R-XSR. My luck is, is that I don't have any conversion issues. I'm starting from scratch so to say, in the FrSky world.

@battano 2 года назад

All I can say is you did something wrong or have a defective radio. I used Futaba and Spectrum for years as a fixed wing pilot but getting into drones my first radio was a QX7 which I used for about 6 months till using a guy's X-lite at a Dallas Drone Racing event and literately ordered one the following day. ZERO ISSUES with internal rf unit connecting with D8 and D16. I have since added a CRSF module to use it on long range drones and planes. I then added a TBS MPM and moved all my old fixed wing to the X-lite and proceeded to wear the transmitter out in a two year span. Which was no big deal as I kept backups and just reloaded everything on a fresh x-lite transmitter. The old transmitter still functions fine but has been dropped so many times and in my hands for so long it looked terrible. I have since added an ELRS module to use the less expensive, long range, and low latency RX's. I have more than 60 RC models an every single one of them is setup and can be used without issues on my X-lite. Not to mention it is so lite and not to compact like some of the other game style transmitters out. I wouldn't trade it for any other transmitter.

I'm not going to flash them, and if I need a radio, it will work out-of-the-box whatever it is. I definitely don't care about their new protocol and I even wonder if the encryption introduces latency.

Releasing this before support for the XM+ was fully embedded, is a pretty crazy move. The XM+ is very popular, because of the nice range to price ratio, and with RSSI on OSD, you don't really need the telemetry of the R-XSR. I'm sure it will work out in the end, but just still feels this release was rushed.

The problem is the software has is not ready yet. In a few months when this radio can do all the new functionality and also do all the OLD functionality it will be worth it. They just should have waited until they have the firmware ready to support the D16 and D8 before they released it. The fact it only works with the really new receivers that very few people own was a poor idea. I am sure in a year or two everyone with an old radio will start to wish they had this radio.

@ntgCleaner 5 лет назад

Pretty harsh title if you ask me. I went through the same pains (1.5 weeks to get to me after order, waited 4 more days to see a firmware update, 3 more days to receive now receivers and a couple more to rewire everything). In my time while I couldn't fly, I emailed FrSky and asked them what the deal was. Their response: "So all of our previous receivers (mainly X-Series, S Series, and R9) will have their firmware rolled out gradually. The first batch is already completed and the R-XSR (our most popular quad receiver) is the first of the second batch, which also includes the XM Plus. The original R9 stuff will also be updated to use ACCESS as well, I believe as the 3rd batch." If it were me, I'd just say it was released too soon. I had an antenna issue as well, I went into the model settings, down to options and then turned off external module. Probably not the same issue, but I get the frustration. They just released XM and I believe the XM+ will be next in a couple of days.

So, to be clear, the new Jumper radios work with all Frsky receivers, and just about everything else, and the new Frsky radios won’t even work with existing frsky receivers. Seems like what we need is for Jumper to clone the x-lite.

What they as well missed besides pissing users off. The idea with the screws at the back to be able to change modes is not really great. Most of the time they don‘t go in straight, missing the inner part where they are supposed to push down. As the stick friction is not existant, the radio needs to be opened anyway to add some. It would have been great to adust the spring tensions seperately for all directions, instead of this silly feature. Besides that, I love my normal xlite and switched all my quads to it. It can do D8. The „Pro“ is currently in the basement, waiting for the future.
