Is DSMX Compatible with DSM2?

Yes. DSMX is fully compatible with all DSM2 hardware. In fact, many pilots may

find the DSM2 equipment they have now is all they will ever need. Even if a new

DSMX transmitter eventually comes along that they really want, all the DSM2 recei-

vers they have now will work with it.

It is important to note, however, that while DSMX is compatible with DSM2, the

only way to experience the full benefits of DSMX in a busy 2.4 environment is by

pairing a DSMX transmitter with a DSMX receiver.
Are DSM2 Transmitters Eligible for a DSMX Add-on?

Yes. DX8 owners can simply download Spektrum AirWare

™

software from

spektrumrc.com and update the firmware using their SD card. All DSM2

transmitters, except the DX5e, are eligible for the add-on by going to

https://community.spektrumrc.com/ for details. DSM2 receivers and transmitter

modules are not eligible for the DSMX add-on.

Does DSMX have ModelMatch

™

and ServoSync

™

Yes. DSMX will provide you with these and other exclusive Spektrum advantages

you already enjoy with DSM2. Want to know more about DSMX? Visit spektrumrc.

Note 1: DSMX upgraded DX5e and DX6i transmitters are compatible with all

DSMX receivers except the high-speed DSM2 receivers (like the AR7600, AR9000,

etc.). When using a high-speed DSM2 receiver with the DX5e or DX6i, it’s necessa-

ry to manually put these transmitters into DSM2 mode. See the Spektrum website

for details on DX5e/DX6i DSM2 mode for details.
