Based on the suggestions on Open Panzer I purchased a FrSKY X4R  that works perfectly with my Tanaris radio. I don't see them made anymore, what would be the same type that would plug/work in the same way?

FS-A8S seems like will plug in same way?

[Tom]

Or better X8R?

[Tom]

Seems like with the Tanaris and based on the Wiki suggestions the FrSky X8R is the best option
The X4R seems to be discontinued.

Hi Tom, yeah, I have been out of the hobby for many years so I'm sure the info in the Wiki on what is available is not very up-to-date. I just did a quick check of the FrSky website and they have four pages of receivers so it seems they have no shortage of alternative options.

The FS-A8S is FlySky so that's a completely different protocol. But the X8R will certainly work, though it is larger in size than the X4R. And any other FrSky receiver compatible with your radio and that has the option for PPM, SBus or iBus output will work, so I'd suggest looking through their offerings and picking what looks best for your needs.

Thanks Luke. Yes I haven't touched these tanks in several years but my WW2 history buff friend came by so I decided to fix up one that had no TCB set up. Are you guys still working on getting the Sound Card produced someday? Pretty cool the TCB was finally made after Hobby King stopped making them.

The sound card unfortunately is a dead project as the hardware it was based on has been discontinued. User Foxhood has started a thread about an alternate version he is working on, so you might want to follow that one: OPSC Lite
