I'm not even remotely sure of what the protocols are based off of, so not sure if it'd even be accepted, but I'd surely be willing to pick up a spare rx and send over.

It looks like I could pick up a receiver and tx for ~$40 US, which isn't too bad, but if it only supports 1 model, it may not really be worth it. It will probably depend on which chips are being used.
The Rx by itself isn't particularly useful for protocol development. need a rx and tx pair usually.

I'll split the TX in a bit and take several macro shots for you, see if that doesn't help.

Hope this helps ID it.. If you need any further details or pictures, just let me know.
I SHOULD have all the numbers correct, but 1s may be Is and 0s may be Os. Beyond that, it should be good.

CSN
IRQ
GND
CE
MISC
SCK
MOSI
+3.3V
There is an odd pathway etched in to the front which may or may not be some kind of ID mark.

The rfx2402c on the same board is the power-amp.
Can you see if there are any numbers on the crystal on the rf board (the silver oval). Knowing the frequency may help identify which transceiver is being used.
My guess is it is an nrf24l01, but there's really no data backing that up at the moment.

Duh me.. I should have considered that.
Frequency labeled is 16.000
There are only 3 TXs in the MJX lineup. The GR-129 being the most prevalent now, followed by the GR-146 which seems to be packed with their newest and upcoming releases. The GR-40C is limited to their T-series coax helis.

The nrf24l01 uses a 16MHz crystal. the cc2520 uses a 32MHz crystal. The A7105 can use 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 MHZ crystals
So that leaves us with the nrf24L01, the A7105, or some other unknown chip.
The A7105 is used in Flysky equipment, and is not a very big player. The NRF24L01 is very popular with RC equipment.
In either case, to use it with Deviation, you'll need to add a new module. You can look at the Flysky to Devo pdf to get an idea of the procedure (though that is only the hardware part. We still need to know the protocol.
I haven't yet put an nrf24L01 module in my tx, though it is a part of my protocol-analysis test rig.
If you're still interested, I may consider ordering an rx and tx. $40 isn't a bad deal, and the transmitter module itself is easily worth $10 with its nice 23dB power-amp

Now... In the doc it states "XL7105-D03 is an A7105 transceiver" but also gives reference to the NRF24L01 in the URLs provided. Will that module work with both A7105 and NRF24L01 transceivers?

Pin out from the top down on the module is:
RXEN - CSN - IRQ - GND - CE - MISO - SCK - MOSI - +3.3V
And yes, I'm certainly still interested, regardless of mod. If it does end up being the same work required (besides protocol) to get the V911 up, I'm sure others would be interested as well.

Any update on this?

I'll report my findings in that thread.
Short summary: The RF chip is a BK2421 and according to victzh protocol looks similar to V202, more to come.
