As I understand the X8R "should" connect fine with the PixHawk.
The question is what FrSky Tx should I get for the Turnigy 9XR to make it all work? Will the 9XR work with the FrSky components so they all talk to each other?

Hi everyone,
Was considering getting an EzUHF or Dragonlink Tx/Rx kit for extra long range, but realized that their frequencies range may be interfering with the 3DR Telemetry kit. (I live in Europe so I have the 433 MHz version.)
Any idea how to overc

The readings aren't much b
