FrskyX LBT EU

Hi
Are there some Infos out there about the new FrskyX LBT (Listen before talk) Protocol for us EU people?
Ther are rumors that this Protocol has a bit more range, too.

I am afraid there will be no benefit on a Devo TX with this protocol. We already transmit at the highest level with the
CC2500 modules (17.7 db).
The difference into range seems to be a 2.5 db higher output level with LBT. How they did this, I don't know, maybe this
power level was restricted on their hardware before LBT .

Edit:
If you refer to a certain YT vid ...this guy uses a X9E.

in the moment it is only legal in the EU to buy and import Frsky Receivers with LBT Software.
In fact there is some interest to use this Receivers.
I know downgrad is possible, but its not legal for new Receivers in the EU.

I have some Devo TXs and a new Taranis X9E (EU LBT) , and it would be great to use the new LBT Receivers vice versa.

It would be useful to have the LBT EU D16 protocol as well as the international version. I am not affected because my taranis was built in 2013 but many new FRSKY users are going to be affected by locked down transmitters only able to use the LBT format. I wouldn't be very happy if I had to reflash a Rx every time I wanted to swap transmitters.

I have asked this question before and I think only very limited number of people are affected so there is no real interest..... I am happy to be corrected over this.

Also, I have not had any issues importing international X-series receivers into the UK.

Wene001: "EU-legal" means you need a transmitter with a declaration of conformity (KE=Konformitätserklärung) for vendor/distributor/importer of the transmitter, HF-module and compatible protocols.

You won't get that with Devo TX, CC2500 and implemented FrSky/FrskyX or even FrskyX LBT own C implementations.

And XCiteRC KE is only valid for the original Devo transmitter with DEVO 3 channel DSSS protocol @ 10mw (no FHSS, no ETSI 1.8.1 compliance). Not any other stuff...


But I agree with you.
Flying DSMx (FHSS) "half-legal" (with no DeviationTX/Devo TX KE) at max. 100mw makes me feel better than this DEVO max 10mw stuff or suspended DSM2 stuff...at least there is a Spektrum genuine DSMx KE or this FHSS, even it does not apply for DeviationTX/Devos.

So, would you feel any better flying with no KE at all but with a "more FrskyX LBT-EU compliant" C protocol code?

Are there any plans to support LBT?
I have a bunch of LBT receivers and would rather not downgrade them all.
I was unable to bind a D4R-II.

Probably no !

Thanks to midelic and others LBT seems to be in the pipeline.
Any news on this for Deviation?

midelic posted about it in another thread a couple days ago. I took a quick look but didn't have time to grok it. It's on the list but just lots of work these days. Pull requests welcome
