I’m a Horizon employee yes

To program them yes

Ok. Thanks for your prompt response.

@@mikew.4165 frame rate menu. Enable x plus.

​@StevesRC Perfect. Thanks for the quick response. This is so cool!! Nice job Spektrum! Thank you Steve.

@@jamescattanach1129 sorry the DX line hardware isn’t capable of the update.

For the record, Horizon doesn’t pay for everything as you might think. We will continue to push to make the hobby more accessible for all. Thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful. This would take a video to explain but th short answer is adjustability of each surface individually. It also gives you the ability to run things like crow, differential, and more. You can sub trim one surface without impacting both. Etc…

@@thomasgallien4371 you should send it in. It’s likely a loose wire but that could get worse or lead to issues over time. If it’s past warranty, you could crack it open and check it yourself but if you’re under warranty, just have HH sort it out.

@@StevesRC what kind of down time would I be looking at you think ?

@@thomasgallien4371 the goal our of service team is 2.5 days or less. Right now they are running around 2 days for service and then back. So probably shipping time both ways plus 2 days.

I actually opened mine as I had the same issue. I can confirm that it is indeed a wire that was poorly routed. It’s a bit too short and it is not secured properly. This is by design. It didn’t just pop out of its holder. There is no holder! It’s flailing around as the gymbal travels through its full range of motion. I highly recommend sending it back asap or open it up and secure it urself. I used double sided time to hold it down. The wire will rip eventually if u just ignore the problem and then it’s gonna be harder to fix.

This is a manufacturers defect and should be honored past warranty. Anyone who looks inside the radio at that left gymbal would easily agree. Horizon hobby is pretty good in terms of customer service though so I hope the keep it up and fix it for customers free of charge even past warranty. They market these transmitters as lasting many years. Time to see if they stand behind their words.

@@BillKisel sure, you can find a micro usb magnet adapter on Amazon. We sell one too. It’s basically a plug you put into the port and it then connects via magnetic connector each time you are charging. This makes life easier and prevents damage to the plug in the long run since you aren’t plugging in and out of that micro port each time.

Just nx and ix models

Also where do I find the amount of channels the remote has in the settings thanks in advance

Frame rate menu. Turn on x plus channels

@@StevesRC I can’t find it i went to frame rate but there was no x plus channels

If it’s truly a hold. You need to rethink your antenna placement. A hold is a loss of signal holding set failsafe positions.

My best guess is the development team is not putting much effort in evolving or adding features to discontinued models.

The ix 14 and 20 received updates. Not the 12 however.

Yep that works both ways. No updates to as3000 as the hardware won’t allow it.

Thank you. Into the updates I go. Your quick answer was appreciated.

@@437johnl that’s a tough one without seeing it. Worth a call to our support team and have them walk you through it.

Turn on xplus channels in frame rate menu?

Thanks

Basically yes, radios will be a choice of hardware and less about software.

No and it will not be getting a 20ch update unfortunately. It’s hardware limited in that regard.

On that particular aircraft I did not have to. Its that good! On my MB339, I turned gains to 2X and run about 16% gain on all surfaces and its VERY dialed in.

@@StevesRC I updated one of my RX's, and there were some new features added that I don't what to do with. Will there be more detailed instructions on each feature?

@@57heeler in the future yes

You will need to go into the frame rate menu and turn on Xplus channels.

There is a video in the description that goes through it. More to come on that if your question isn't answered in that video.

The DX platform last update happened earlier this year. That series of radios is no longer getting updated as they are older platforms. Similar to how Microsoft no longer supports XP or Windows 7.

@@StevesRC time to upgrade then 🤷

I would use Spektrum again if only the radio's where not so bulky. I have a DX18 and IX12. DX18 was the perfect size. I mean the thickness. IX12 is way thicker in the hand and just feels bulky. So I just don't use the IX12. DX18 fits like a glove, but sadly, it's no longer supported. So I've swapped brands only on that basis. I don't care about screen size don't look at it while I'm flying. The feel of a radio in your hand is the most important thing to me fancy features are just a bonus. Anyway just my thoughts. Pinch of salt

I don’t think we have a video yet that goes into detail. But we do have a wiki about as3x+ and that includes what stop lock and release rate does and how to turn it. I’ll place that link into the description.

@@StevesRC- Thanks Steve, the link is helpful. I love AS3X but the one thing I don’t like is the aileron oscillations after a rapid stop. If I understand correctly, lowering stop lock rate will help.

@@MechanicalWhirrings that’s true. To a degree it will make a difference. It helps a lock with crisp stops for sure. I see a lot Less oscillations with this system overall

@@StevesRC - great, thanks again. Looking forward to trying it soon!

The iX12 is unable to be updated with this firmware update as the hardware cannot support it. This radio is still supported, but it will not be receiving the 20ch update.

That’s unfortunate. I guess people with the IX12 cannot use AS3X+ either. Bummer!!

Did it completely finish the update? Trying removing the battery if so. let me know!

@@StevesRC yeah removed battery let it sit for couple mins, hold power button down while I plugged in the battery no change I have to send it in to get fixed

@@hectorcadavid9648 Have you tried holding roller down while you power up? Sorry to hear its been rough for you.

Same thing happened to me, support told me to send it in, pay for shipping, pay for repairs, no thanks. Glad I bought it on Amazon. Easy return

20 channels. All of them independent. I suppose the only "catch" is that not ALL 20 are full resolution. But this is how the system operates on our current IX and NX 20 platforms anyway.

@@StevesRC what does that mean “not full resolution”?

Don’t worry too much about it. The explenation is a bit complicated and would take many paragraphs to explain and you likely won’t notice the loss of resolution in the higher channels. Just try to make sure ur elevator, rudder, and aileron servos are on the lowest possible channels and you’ll be fine. Use the higher channels for stuff like flaps, spoilers as3x safe….

Sure will. You will have 14 channels.

This wasn't really a "new" radio development. This was firmware. We hear you though. If you utilize Spektrum's Smart ESC system you don't need flight pack telemetry wires and all that bulk. The system just "works" with your ESC line. Heck, you can even use non-smart batteries with a smart ESC and get what you are looking for.

Yeah he wants affordable too tho. Spectrum makes the stuff the guy asking the question wants. It’s just not 40. It’s about twice that. He doesn’t care about extra wires. It’s the additional 40 dollars per receiver he’s concerned about 😂

Fantastic. If you have a specific video need you want, let me know. I'm headed to airventure next week but when I return I can toss some quick things together.

Probably difficult to explain in a comment, we will have videos on this soon. If I can get to it faster than our video team, I will do so!

Appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

Hey man, I can assure you thats not the company we are. I've been here over 12 years now. We all recognize that things have gotten worse with our system upgrade, but the teams are getting faster/better/stronger every day. If you truly still have an issue with your DX6, let me know and I will look into it personally. We have a full team here that wants to win your business back.

@@StevesRC I appreciate the offer, the person I was dealing with via email got a bit rude with me and ended up just ignoring my emails I guess. The issues were that the batteries got old and died in the controller and I did that weird thing right after I put fresh batteries in it it would go to the factory setup screen where you got to flip all the switches and I figured out how to get past that by plugging an aux cord or trainer cord into the back of it and I know I can get past that if I can find somebody with an 8 channel radio but I live in the middle of nowhere and have nobody else that flies around me. I've been a loyal customer before that spent probably tens of thousands of dollars with you guys when was super disappointed to be treated the way I was by the person that was supposed to be helping me. This was awhile ago now a couple years back I can't remember the person's name and I want to throw them under the bus I'm not that type of person.

Yeah they’re not that bad. You’ll likely have a tougher time getting radiomaster or jumper to fix your radio than spectrum. Try opening up a new case. If it’s still under warranty I’m almost certain they will take care of you. Helps if ur polite. They have for me many times. Even a few stuff that was out of warranty but I couldn’t find parts for myself. They once shipped me some lock rings for switches at no charge so I could fix a radio over 8 years out of warranty. I didn’t pay a penny.

I'm looking into this today with the team. I'll provide an answer soon. I can promise you the Smart Technology systems are a MAIN focus of the HH company so you do INDEED have a fully supported system.

Looked into it. Found out it was mistakenly not reordered. The team is looking into it and getting them back in stock asap. That said, if you need one go ahead and email me at the contact email in my about section and I will see about getting you one from the team here. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Have fun with it! Can't wait to see your content about it :)

If you want the as3x+, yes.

yes, if you want access to the As3X+ forward programming, you will need to.

One other thing. I updated both my NX6 and NX10 radios over wifi and both updated successfully. NX6 now has 14 channels as your video said it would, but no luck with the NX10! I've updated twice now but it still just has the original 10 channels not 20 as you said it would. Contacted Spektrum support and they were no help, telling me to change the number of channels on my servo setup monitor screen. That's fine for monitoring the servos but not assigning a function to a channel. What am I missing? Thx!

@@larrykidd4760 frame rate menu, enable x plus channels

Perfect, now we're in business. Thx!!
