Radio Master has just released 6 new D8 / D16 FixedWing and Drone Receivers
I know here at GraysonHobby, we have been asking RadioMaster to develop a few receivers to accompany their RadioMaster T16 radios and after several months, six new RadioMaster Receivers have been developed and ready to hit the market at the end of 2020
These Receivers run the D8 – D16 protocol (not access) which is what a lot in the hobby call ‘FrSky’ – Similar to how most call DMS2 / DSMX protocol spectrum.
What makes these better?
From the surface there is nothing different between these receivers as in functionality, range, or size. However, In talking to RadioMaster, they pointed out how the antennas had a rubber protection on the case. This is to secure the antenna on the case and hopefully prevents the antenna from ripping off the circuit pad. This is not a big feature nor a shop stopper, however, this little touch is nice feature and only when your antenna is ripped out is when youll notice.
OutStanding Prices
The most impressive feature is the rock bottom prices! With these low prices, it going to be very hard for other companies to compete so over time, it will be very interesting what will happen to the development of new receivers, but it seems the RadioMaster line has it all covered.
So lets take a look at the RadioMaster Receivers.
