CROSSFIRE runs different RF Profiles at time. For a better understanding which RF profile is active we
assume 50Hz update rate as 100%. This will give you up to 300% LQ for operation mode normal and up to
100% LQ for force telemetry. Any LQ above 80% is fine. LQ at 50% you can still comfortably fly a
gimbal-quad in ATTI or GPS mode since there is still a certain amount of valid data reaching the flight
controller.
Note: Since firmware V2.30 the OpenTX telemetry sensor and the LQ on the the receiver channel map are
scaled from 0-100%. While the CROSSFIRE is in 150 Hz mode, the LQ will stay at 100%. When the system
switches to the 50 Hz Long-range-mode, the LQ sensor can start to drop.
Find mode
The Find-mode provides you with a way to locate a downed aircraft. A GPS signal is currently required to
use this mode (other detection modes are being developed). Install our TBS GPS module or any other gps,
connected to a flight controller (APM, INav, BetaFlight - CRFSF or MavLink connection required) to the
BST-port on side of the receiver.
In normal use the GPS coordinates are continuously updated and the latest data is displayed on the “Find
Mode” screen. If the model loses power you can review the last known coordinates to locate your model.
Inactive (Press Enter) / Active - Enable/disable the Find-mode, shows on-board LiPo voltage
Do NOT enable during flight!
Signal - Receiver signal strength, makes it possible to triangulate the location [0 to 100%]
Alt - Altitude above Sea Level, GPS required [0 to 5000m]
Lat - Latitude, GPS required
Lat - Longitude, GPS required
The receiver has an on-board LiPo battery to operate in
beacon-mode. This allows the transmitter to send the
last known GPS coordinates to the display on the
transmitter, after certain trigger events have
happened. See the operation flow diagram attached on
the following page.
