ORX ORANGE RX FULL
The R614XN is a full 6ch receiver, it has 6 PWM outputs forĬonventional use or a 6ch cPPM output which allows for single Soldered directly to it, therefore saving the weight and bulk of This is a DIY receiver that requires the connections to be Only 3mm thick and weighs just 0.5g before any wiring is added. This moment, it measures an infinitesimal 11.7 x 11.7mm and is About this item Extremely small, only 11.7 x 11.7 x 3mm & 0.5g without wiring 6ch cPPM output allowing for single line connection with compatible devices 6ch PWM outputs for conventional use Wide input voltage, 3.7~9.6V ›See more product details.Ībout:This is the smallest OrangeRx receiver on the market at.I just confirmed my suspicions, I was indeed about 250m out when the quad came down, so most definitely range + carbon frame blocking the antenna brought it down. Hence i' m moving towards a ' Full Range' receiver with satellite which im going to position to ensure I minimise any shadowing from the carbon frame.

So my thread is perhaps badly named, its not a bad OrangeRx (im fairly happy with how these perform for the price), its more my setup is now not up to what I need it to do. My Tx is on the rear of the frame, so nose in and flying forward there is carbon plate / lipo etc blocking the view of the Rx antenna. Both occasions where i' ve lost connection the quad has been ~200m range and nose in flying forward. I' ve come to the conclusion that range + shadowing from the carbon frame has caused me problems. Only with the addition of FPV have I been flying longer range (hitting the 200m mark). Good summary and info, thanks! As I mentioned, up until recently Tx and Rx never posed a problem for me as I just park fly (100 to 150m). DSMX only, for me, these days, if I' m using my Spektrum TX. The Orange 620 that NorcoT refers to is a "Full Range" RX and I have had good success with the ones that I have used, but they are DSM2 and I' ve developed a mistrust of that type of RC control. The R615X (DSMX) is available these days, but again is not a Full Range RX - See -> It is a DSM2 receiver so I' d advise caution. I have used the 615 on a CF ZMR250 and it worked well enough, but never went out beyond 200m. It will interfere and there is not great opportunity to orient the 615' s antenna such that it mostly clears the RF LOS to the TX. Mounting the 615 on a CF rig is bound to cause problems because of the radio opacity of the frame material. The Orange 615 is a Park Flyer and for that the range isn' t going to be terribly great, maybe if you' re lucky you' ll see about 300m - 500m tops, on a good day Its around £40 but it' s going to cost me that in LiPos and Props if I keep going on the OrangeRx. I think its time to spend a little more and buy genuine Spektrum. May help to add a satellite RX if you have suitable space available, even though they have the little whisker antennas an extra pair at the other end of the machine can be useful

Yeh i' ve only just came to realise this, as I mentioned, I havent had an issue for the past 2 years of flying quads but now i' ve properly started FPV and flying further, i' m starting to see problems. The Full Range ones are marked as such on the HK site and usually have the longer antennas so you can route them to your satisfaction. So you are talking about 100 to 200 metres. You do realise that unless stated otherwise Orange receivers are only counted as park flyer receivers.
