New JUMPER T-20S Radio - Prepare to be Amazed! Review

[@The-Opium-Den]

And here I thought Jumper threw in the towel after being hammered by Radiomaster for so long. It's good to see they're now starting to create products that aren't mirror images of each other in both name and form factor. The tech just keeps getting better and more compact. I still won't be entering the FPV hobby any time soon, but I hope in the future there will be something for me. Thanks for the review!

[@nickvledder]

I had badluck with my Jumper t-16 (garbage, ribbon-cables), then purchased the Jumper t-18pro (heaven to me). Somehow I was never a fan of RadioMaster.

[@quickset]

I had the Jumper T-Pro as my first radio, after switching to Radiomaster Zorro Max, id never consider buying a jumper product again, cheaply built, and the ELRS module bricked itself and was a pain in the ass to unbrick.

[@Mupshot]

Tru dat. When I was radio shopping, the mirror of t16 and tx16 were the two I was looking at first, but it was the review showing faulty ribbon cables that turned me away from Jumper. Although I think the Jumper was the original and RM cloned it with improvements.

[@gammagonad1657]

@Captain Drone the battery bay is actually sized to fit 21700(larger cells) but 18650’s are the same length

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

21700 are slightly larger in diameter and length and will usually fit in the same location as 18650s as long as it was not a tight fit for the 18650 batteries. Since 21700 normally have a higher capacity, you'll get a longer run time.

[@gammagonad1657]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yeah, thats one of the only thing that I remember seeing a picture of the radio holding 21700's. You can also see in your video, that there is extra space on either side of the battery bay. Very helpful if running external modules, Im sure. 21700's are what I build my 4 & 6s LR packs out of. substantially more energy density. Amperage for sure...Not as much sag, as 18650's. I use the Samsung 40T's (40AMPS!)

[@partyfrog69]

I wish they had a quality control division, their reputation is less than stellar.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I think you are listening to complaints from 5 years ago when Jumper used cables in their radios, instead of solder connections, that caused problems. Since then both Jumper and Radiomaster have the same quality control and service.

[@thysaintzero]

Love the t pro. This t-20 looks amazing

[@maelradec6766]

no ribbon cables. screen is just a little small. the antenna is not standard either.

[@williamjones1768]

Can the pocket radio bind with the spektrum receivers,I see no videos on that..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope, it is ELRS which means to bind to some Spektrum receivers you’d need to attach a 4-in-1 model or even an external Spektrum module (if those ones still exist)

[@xrayhead]

Nice review, I didn't know you could get the voice prompts for the switches telling you when it's armed and what flight mode you are switching to.

[@kjngmax]

I just bought T20s radio. I have question with 6 funtion buttons next to each other. How to make 6 buttons work independently? Now i just turned ON only one of them

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe they act as one frequency, chopping the frequency into 6 segments, so that would mean one button, or one switch, or like one dial.

[@kjngmax]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i don't think so because each of Switch is each of address. When i chose source each of Switch is SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 SW5 SW6. I think it can change using function of 6 buttons

[@kjngmax]

I already known how to setup 6 funtions Switchs. You can see in setup screen at page 2.

[@MattacksRC]

Is it ok for a pincher without neck strap? I was going to go for the tx12 mkII but this appears to beat that in terms of build quality and ELRS output power.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I’m at Thumber so can’t comment on using it as a pincher.

[@yoyomin]

Looks good but with the bad QC of jumper radios I'll wait for radiomaster's answer to this.

[@mysticguido1]

Question: Can this radio set a reverse throttle on an RC plane as you can do with radiomaster transmitters? I have a Jumper T-Pro now, but looking to upgrade.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Reverse throttle is part of the ESC on your plane. If the ESC has it then you simply assign a switch to it.

[@mysticguido1]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

[@rikosmokesFPV]

Hey Cap Steve. The version you received, is T20S version, which use RDC90 sensor by Alpsalpine. If you look deeper on Alpsalpine spec sheet, RDC90 is a mechanical potentiometer, and it has higher linearity error (+-3%) compared to hall sensor (+-1%). Whether it is a marketing geek to beat Radiomaster, I will let the audience to decide.

[@dropfile]

Yes, exactly. Apparently, a hall version is on its way. I wonder what is a purpose of these two rubber(?) plugs on an antenna side of a case.

[@djs134]

So there is an old video showing the rdc90 are not hall gimbals, but these new rdc90 look a lot different than the old ones, are these new ones hall gimbals? The old gimbals are what the other guy is referring to with the potentiamoter

What are the other differences t20 vs t20s, I just got t20 halls, should I make another order for t20s ?

[@icp-trek]

This is one of the better looking radios I've seen at that form factor.

[@WATCHMAKUH]

FINALLY! The boxer had an ok size for the full sized gimbals, but didn't like that it was not small enough.... the Zorro had a nice size with mini cnc gimbals, but that screen popping out was whack, not full sized gimbals, and only 250w output.... the t-pro had the nice compact size with 1w output I wanted but came with horrible gimbals and build quality..... But Jumper made a home run product on this one. Has the best features of all the best parts of every radio out there....full sized CNC metal hall effect gimbals, small form factor, replaceable antennas, huge battery capacity, awesome dense design, doesn't look like a toy, 1W 2.4 or 915, module extendable, metal heatsink, adjustable stick limits and heights, great build quality, clear case option, foldable antenna option, both switches and jog wheels.....everything! The T20 is going to be the new king. I know it.

[@rcrotorfreak]

Why you want higher out put do you even fly beyond? 1w is to much and to walk to aircraft after loosing control by the time you go up to model it's already stollen from a druggy lol

[@WATCHMAKUH]

@@rcrotorfreak higher output doesn’t always mean it’s for longer range…I’m more for penetration through trees/buildings and maintaining solid connection….plus it would be nice for the range if needed.

[@sumner407]

The one they sent you looks really good. I like that it has positive metal switches and the gimbals look phenomenal. I am going to keep this one in mind when I upgrade. Thanks for reviewing it. 😊

[@grabejud]

yours is the premium version with the cnc gimbal and folding antenna. i got the standard version with removable antenna. the radio is already supported under elrs 3.3 as im using it. it is a quality radio that even supports the bigger 21700 battery

[@smokehead5318]

Yeah, but older version already has been replaced by this new one, so why we got old one? What are the differences?

[@grabejud]

one thing for sure is jumper's marketing strategy is weird. what i see or feel is that they are just clearing stocks for the tx18 gimbals which the original t20 was using. but i really prefer the folding antennas as default.@@smokehead5318
