I really like some of the 16 channel radios and may get one. Other than limited channels  as far as I can see the DXi 6 will work fine with the proper receiver with no changes to it (Dxi)

Yes Tom, the DXi 6 transmitter will work fine, but as you say it will need a proper receiver. For whatever reason Spektrum as a company seems dedicated to staying far behind the technology curve while over-charging for their products, and strangely this seems to have worked very well for them.

The TCB will only accept receivers capable of sending a PPM, SBus, or iBus signal. Although these are becoming standard across the hobby Spektrum does not offer a receiver with those features, but we can be sure if they did it would cost an arm and a leg. However there are several DSMX-compatible receivers available from other companies, see the Radio Selection Guide in the Wiki for recommendations.

At the present time the best options for Spektrum owners are:

• Lemon Rx DSMX Compatible PPM Receiver (8 channels over PPM)
• OrangeRx R615X (6 channels over PPM)
• OrangeRx R620X V2 (up to 12 channels over SBus)
