When it comes to possibilities the Frsky TARANIS sets a new standard.

FrSky
is well known for their frequency hopping ACCST technology, that takes
advantage of the entire 2.4GHz band, resulting in excellent range and
reliability, they now offer their first full transmitter system.
Frsky takes it one further with the Taranis Plus. How is the Plus different from
the normal Taranis? The Plus retains everything the normal Taranis includes
plus a higher quality, better contrast LCD display that is adjustable from blue to
white, and haptic vibration feedback built in. This means you can be alerted

silently or use the existing built in voice or alarm features. There is one item
missing, the SWR check of the transmitter antenna is no longer available. You
still get the great new sliders, the big low self discharge battery, and all of the
other great things you have come to expect from FrSky.
The TARANIS mixes the power of the OPEN TX open-source software with
an unbelievable ergonomic case with 8 programmable switches, two twist knobs
and two easy to get to lateral 'slider' pots, and not to mention the ultra-smooth
quad bearing gimbals.
The TARANIS utilizes Voice Alerts from an internal speaker, versus just an
annoying beeper. For things like; audible Count down timers, low voltage
warnings, landing gear down warnings etc., Just about anything can be
programmed, you can even use your own voice. The SD card slot offers
unlimited memory options and a USB port for upgrades even a headphone jack.
One of the best features of the TARANIS is its full telemetry capability, as
well as RSSI signal strength feedback, there are 3 different programmable
failsafe modes and receiver lock, so no more crashes due to selecting the wrong
model. If you have stock in other brand receivers or B&Fs, no worries the
TARANIS has a JR style RF module slot, so you have the option of other brand
modules such as the Orange DSM2/DSMX or Open LRS 433mhz module, or
pop in another Frsky module to expand the transmitters capabilities even more
with dual RF.
When you put it all together, between FrSky ACCST technology and the power
of OPEN TX software and community, an ergonomic case with ultra-smooth
ball bearing gimbals, a large backlit LCD, New larger battery pack and X8R
receiver. You have versatility and power at an unprecedented value.

The most popular receiver option for this transmitter is the Frsky D4RII, due to the small form factor and telemetry capability. It is a 4 channel
receiver in PWM mode, but in PPM mode it can be expanded to 8 channels.
There are two ways of configuring the Taranis, either on the actual unit (using
LCD screen and the buttons), or through a computer software called
CompanionTX (TX connects to computer using USB cable). All radio settings,
including models can be modified on the radio or exported to a computer for
backup. CompanionTX allows radio menu simulation on the software GUI, we
can go though the TX menus on the computer as if it was on the radio .

Companion TX with the default screen

Audio speech outputs feature makes Taranis a very desirable transmitter.
Basically, it is possible to program the radio so when the alarm is set, specific
sound file can be played. This comes in very handy during a FPV session. Lets
say we have the FPV goggles on, but suddenly the OSD fails and we have no
flight information from our quadcopter. When the voltage is low, the Taranis
can warn us, not just beeping, but tells us what the actual voltage reading is in
human voice, thanks to telemetry. Sounds files and additional sound tracks can
be downloaded from Here.
Build quality of this transmitter is pretty amazing as well. Good quality plastics
and gimbals. In comparison to Spektrum DX6i, sticks are much smoother and I
liked the Taranis better.

X8R Receiver Mode 2(Version B)(Without the Aluminum box). Taranis
X9D ACCST PLUG 2.4GHz Transmitter is upgraded of Taranis X9D ACCST
Transmitter.
PLUS the most important: the new version to modify the internal
hardware circuit layout
1. In view of the problem of before noise control has made the very big
change, basically doesn't make any noise;
2. Add the vibrating alert, similar to phone the vibration keystrokes,
concrete can be set in system interface;
3. The backlight part, before is monochrome backlight control, is now two
kinds of combination of color backlighting, can say that there are three
kinds
of
color,
