FrSky TD R6 Instruction Manual

Instruction Manual for FrSky TD R6 Receiver

Introduction

The Tandem dual-band receivers are unlike any other FrSky 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz receivers, they work simultaneously
at both 2.4Ghz and 900Mhz frequencies. That means Tandem receivers provide not only the low latency signal and
long-range control, but also benefit from the enhanced level of high reliability and anti-interference performance.
The Tandem series receivers adopt a dual-band antenna design (one 2.4GHz & one 900MHz) that provides
multi-directional wide coverage for the remote signal. The data (Power & Signal related) under unusual status during
the flight can be recorded by Tandem receivers through a built-in black box module.
The TD R6 receiver has 6 high-precision PWM channel outputs bundled in a compact lightweight design,and it also
has ports like SBUS OUT and S.Port on board. By setting the S.Port to the FBUS protocol, the Tandem series
receivers can open up the possibility of seamlessly pairing with multiple telemetry devices (Neuron ESC, Advance
Sensors, etc.) as well as simplifying the build setup.
