FRANCE RF SETTING
The DX5e has a France RF setting that complies with French
regulations. The France RF setting should only be turned on
when operating your transmitter in France outdoors. Please
see page 12 for more details.
DSMX
Spektrum launched the 2.4GHz RC revolution with its DSM2
technology. Since then millions of hobbyists the world over
have come to embrace 2.4 as the way to fly. Spektrum leads
the way yet again with DSMX; the world’s first wideband,
frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol.
HOW DOES DSMX WORK?
It’s a crowded 2.4GHz world out there and every 2.4GHz
system faces the same challenges. DSMX better equips you
for these challenges by combining the superior data capacity
and interference resistance of a wideband signal (like that
used in DSM2) with the agility of frequency shifts.
Compared to the wideband signal of DSMX, the narrow
band signal of other frequency hopping 2.4 transmitters is
more likely to suffer data loss in the event of on-channel
interference. Think of it as a river vs. a stream. It takes more
interference to dam a river than it does a stream.
As more and more 2.4 transmitters vie for the same number
of available channels, there is more interference and more of
a risk for data loss. By adding the agility of frequency shifts
to the superior interference resistance of a wideband signal,
DSMX is far less likely to suffer significant data loss from
on-channel interference. The result is quicker connection
times and superior response in even the most crowded
2.4GHz environment.
DSMX OPERATIONAL DIFFERENCES
DSMX transmitters and receivers function nearly identically
to Spektrum DSM2 systems. Binding, setting the failsafe,
recording flight log data, as well as general use of the
system is no different than using any current Spektrum
system.
FOLLOWING ARE THE OPERATIONAL
DIFFERENCES:
Brownout Detection- Not Available on DSMX Receivers
DSM2 receivers feature Brownout Detection that flashes the
receiver’s LED if a power interruption occurs. While DSMX
receivers have QuickConnect and recover instantly from
a power interruption, the architecture of DSMX prevents
Brownout Detection when operating in DSMX mode.
