SPEKTRUM'S DX8 WITH INTEGRATED
TELEMETRY
The DX8 is Spektrum's first aircraft system that incorporates integrated telemetry. The
transmitter's screen displays real-time telemetry including receiver battery voltage, flight log
data and signal quality. External sensors allow rpm, external voltage and temperature to be
displayed on screen in real time. Alarms can be programmed to warn of low battery, over
temperature, exceeded rpm and diminished RF signal strength. The DX8 offers sophisticated
programming to meet the demands of even the most experienced airplane and helicopter
pilots. An easy-to-use rolling selector combined with intuitive software makes setting up
models quick and easy. The DX8 is SD-card compatible allowing an infinite number of models
to be stored and transferred. Plus firmware updates can be downloaded from the
SPEKTRUMRC.com website providing the user with the latest software upgrades.
