The Archer R8 PRO has 8 high-precision PWM channel outputs and features excellent Anti-interference
performance when it comes to spark-ignition on internal combustion models. It supports full-range signal strength
with dual detachable antennas that assure optimal antenna reception and maximum range. In addition to all this, the
R8 Pro can also be used as a redundancy receiver along with any other FrSky ACCESS capable receiver equipped
with a SBUS port.
All of the Archer receivers are hyper-matched with the ACCESS protocol. They not only feature wireless firmware
upgrades, increased range, and telemetry performance, the R8 PRO now supports more functions like configurable
telemetry power, S.Port/F.Port switching and FLR output. Additional valuable features are under development to
unlock the true potential of the ACCESS protocol.
Features
● ACCESS Protocol with Over The Air (OTA)
● Receiver redundancy
● 8 high-precision PWM channels
● SBUS IN &OUT (using standard servo connectors)
● S.Port / F.Port and AIN2 (on 4 pin socket)
