Radiomaster 4 in 1 module in the TX16S: is it any good? [Range test & comparison, Flysky & ELRS]

I test the 4-in-1 module in my brand new Radiomaster TX16S MKII using the Flysky AFHDS2 protocol and compare it to my Nirvana NV14 to see if the 4 in 1 is up to par.

I actually appreciate this quite a bit. Thanks man!

[@chackendorn]

You had me at the "Guns N Roses" song...lol. Thank you for comparing the receivers.

[@Nosuchthingastrans]

This is super nerdy!!.Good job I’m a huge nerd then lol Thanks bud loved it very useful..

[@alvinaufar3513]

cool

[@Rcschim]

great test and nice voiceover! I'm concerned about TX16s 4in1 range with Spektrum DSM mode. Just got an eflite V1200 plane (fast) and wanna use the TX16s with telemetry (works really nice). but on my maiden I think I got a failsafe. at least it was a weird behaviour. I have SD Log on my TX16s and just analysed it. got FLSS (frameloss) of 240 over 8mins flight. the RSSI is between 30 and 20. on all my drones I fly CRSF and seldom think about failsafe or control range ;)

[@andreas-ohman]

Thanks. I was experimenting with some AI generated voices and it turned out pretty well.

[@Rcschim]

@@andreas-ohman Wow! I know google AI text to speach works nice - but on your video I didn't notice this was AI voice ;) Good job non the less. did you see any good tests of the 4in1 module on TX16s? I'm not sure if I can trust it...

[@larsulrich3356]

How do you get head tracking on ELRS?

[@andreas-ohman]

I really don’t know since I have never tested any head tracking. I would assume that it would work similar to crossfire and other RC links
