Description
The Lemon LM0086 Seven-channel Stabilized Receiver is intended as a “universal” integrated full range
DSMX/DSM2™-compatible receiver. It combines full-range telemetry functions
1
with the well proven Lemon
stabilizer technology to provide AS3X®-type stabilization.
The slim line case, seven available channels and built-in barometric sensor will be particularly attractive to glider
pilots requiring a compact package. Rate Stabilization (“smooth out the bumps”) is optional and if activated can
be switched on and off in the air; it is likely to be attractive to most users.
The Lemon stabilizer is relatively small and light. Despite its low cost, it offers long range and high performance
with its “dual diversity” antenna system. A Lemon DSMP satellite receiver can be added to further enhance
signal reliability but is not normally required.
The unit works with virtually any Spektrum or compatible transmitter with five channels or more
2
, including the
first- and second-generation DX series, as well as the newer NX and iX transmitters. The receiver automatically
switches mode between DSMX™ and DSM2™ as required.
An eight or more-channel transmitter with voice capability allows use of all the available functionality, but
configuration options allow operation with radios having fewer features or channels. The Lemon seven-channel
receiver also works with open-source transmitters such as Taranis and Turnigy 9XR using an add-on DSM2 or
DSMX compatible module, as well as with Multiprotocol transmitters such as Jumper and RadioMaster.
Other versions of the receiver with 10 control channels and separate power input pins are also available.
Connections
The receiver has seven sets of pins on one end of the case: channels 1-6 are arranged in the usual Spektrum
order of TAERGAux1. The channel 7 pins (Aux2) can also function as a normal bind plug connector. In addition,
there are connectors for an optional satellite receiver and an optional voltage/current sensor or simple voltage
probe for telemetry. Note that channel 1 is the second set of pins and that the satellite and sensor connectors
are identical. Don’t mix them up. The receiver has a built-in barometric sensor which can provide altitude and
vertical speed (vario) data.

Essentially the same as those of the earlier Lemon LM0052, 7 channel telemetry receiver.

Exceptions include the original DX6 Parkflier transmitter and the Orange T-Six DSM2.
