FrSky Tandem X18RS

FrSky Tandem X18RS is an original FrSky product from the Tandem TD dual-band radio system family. This page is organized for practical buying decisions, with the fit, RF protocol, channel count, voltage, compatible accessories and installation role presented clearly.

It is suited for FrSky transmitter setups for pilots who need flexible RF protocols, model memory and telemetry integration. The information focuses on what an end customer needs to choose confidently, without exposing supplier pricing or directing the customer away from RC-MODEL.

Available variants: Meteorite Grey; Ruby Red; Porcelain White; Chameleon

Key Advantages

• With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link with multiple operating combinations of RF modes, the TANDEM X18RS versions are equipped with the TD-ISRM RS built-in RF module which is capable of supporting multiple protocols (like TW, TD, etc).
• The TD-ISRM RS RF module has the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of working under ACCESS 2.4G and R9 modes with the same module. In this configuration, the ACCESS 2.4G receiver and R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This further enhances the RF signal’s reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operations scenarios.
• UPGRADED ROBUST ANTENNA HANDLE & EXTERNAL LoRa ANTENNA CONNECTORS
• The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing tough conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is better suited for comfort gripping but also does not compromise the antenna’s performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
• The X18RS is also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced long-range control.
• UPGRADED DISPLAY AND COMPONENTS & 45°/60° TRAVEL ADJUSTABLE MC18 GIMBALS
