Regarding crystal tuning, there's a possible fix that consists of replacing the 2 (small) capacitors located next to the nrf24l01 crystal in the 4-in-1 module:

15nF worked in his case, but ymmv and in some case you may have to insert an extra resistor in serial between the nrf24l01 and the crystal (if you need to drift the frequency in the opposite direction), which is next to impossible.
And unlike what I told before, the manufacturer might have fixed the issue (ajtank was in contact with him).

Also, I remembered I have an E010 I bought as a parts donor for my E010S FPV. I tested it and it works with both my Devo 8S with individual NRF module and Devo 10 with 4-in-1. I'm not sure if the E010 had multiple different main boards like a lot of the cheap quads, but mine uses MJXq - E010 protocol. Does anybody know if mine is the one some people were having trouble binding with the early 4-in-1s?

(newer module as this is a T8SG ...)

No, we can't blame the manufacturers, everything is in spec on their sides, but we're using a hack and sometimes it doesn't work.
e.g. if the nrf24l01 in the Tx has a crystal with -60 ppm deviation while the xn297 in the rx has +20 ppm, this is in spec according to their respective datasheets, but I doubt it will work ...

Great job guys with figuring this out. Any idea when it will get to the nightly build?
Thanks
John

Would it be possible for you to make a temporary version with access to the 14 flags so I can test to see if there is a 3G function?
I'm thinking since this is basically a beginner version of the WL V988 that has 3G and 6G that if they happened to re-use the FBL software from the V988 on the V911S then maybe the 3G function is still in there and they just didn't want it available in the beginner TX because it would cause a crash if they enabled it accidentally.
If not, I've got an iRangex module on order for my Taranis and Pascal might be able to do it for me after I receive it. It will probably be at least 2-3 weeks until it arrives.
Also, my new 4-in-1 to replace the original release 4-in-1 in my Devo 10 is not here yet and will probably be at least another week. I'll install it and resume testing when it arrives.

I didn't find a 3G mode that is activated by changing a flag. I couldn't test combinations of flags because of how the test software is set up, but it's extremely unlikely that a multi flag combination is used so it looks like there is no 3G mode. That's a shame because that means new pilots may out grow the V911S in a matter of a week or two.
One of the flags could be for receiver side dual rates, but I didn't test for that and we don't need it anyway since it's much better to use standard transmitter side dual rates.
It looks like the main advantages to using a Deviation transmitter over the stock transmitter are the ability to lower the hyper tail yaw rate to something usable and having decent gimbals in the TX.

I finally got my new 4-in-1. I replaced the 2016 4-in-1 in my Devo 10 that wouldn't bind with the V911S with a new one. It works great. It even binds more reliably than my Devo 8S with separate NRF24L01 module.
I made a post in the "3-in-1 / 4-in-1 RF Module" thread that shows how to identify the differences between the old and new models.

But I'm still sure that's just a matter of luck
It should be added to the nightly soon.
