2.4 ghz

So Have I got this right, my dx7 will ONLY work with DSM2 receivers, Who else makes DSM2 receivers?
Will my dx7 work with say a JR receiver?

Thanks

Timbo puts his pedantic hat on and says....
Actually the DX7 will work with both types of DSM protocol - the earlier and original DSM, as well as the later and now standard DSM2.
The early DX6 transmitters from Spektrum were DSM only and will NOT work with the DSM2 receivers, but all subsequent transmitters such as the DX6i and 7 etc are DSM2 and "backward compatible"
DSM versus DSM2 ?? -Same concept, with different bitrate and encoding.
DSM2 has a higher bitrate, supports up to 2048 channel resolution and uses lower average power (since each frame take less time to send) so gives almost double the Tx run time on the same battery. The Dx6i and DX7 automatically select the correct version when binding to the Rx. As only the DSM2 receivers transmit back to the Tx ( during bind only ) the Tx then knows if its being bound to a DSM receiver by the lack of DSM2 signal, so will automatically select DSM transmission system. Clever stuff.
Its still perfectly possible to get DSM receivers - in fact I have 2 of the AR6000 units in slopers, and although they state park fly range only, they are superb and I fly them a LOOOONG way out, using either my Dx6i or DX7 transmitter. Your DX7 will work only with Spektrum receivers ( any type ) or 2.4Ghz JR receivers.
JR do make a 7 channel 2.4G receiver but at £85 why would you

I liked your 2.4G Spectrum report Tim in this thread. Very comprehensive. I had all sorts of questions about Spectrum but now you have provided a lot of the answers.
Just what was needed.

And Dave S too
I never did understand the arrangement that exists between JR and Spectrum.
