FrSky Archer Plus GR8 Glider Receiver with upgraded high-precision variometer
The FrSky Archer Plus GR8 Glider Receiver is specifically designed for use in gliders. This receiver features an integrated and upgraded high precision variometer that will give you telemetry data like altitude and vertical speed. The FrSky Archer Plus GR8 supports a redundancy function, so this receiver can be added to another receiver to create a back-up in case one fails. Both PWM and SBUS are supported. PWM gives you 8 output channels for conventional servo’s and SBUS gives you 16 channels from the SBUS port.
- Enhanced Anti RF-Interference capability with more solid RF performance
- Smart-matched ACCESS & ACCST D16 modes, works with FrSky and Multi-Module transmitters
- Supports basic Black-Box function
- Upgraded variometer sensor
- Dual antenna
- 8 high-precision PWM channel ports, SBUS out or FPORT out
- SBUS Out port(Supports 16CH/24CH mode)
- Supports signal redundancy (SBUS In)
- Full control range with telemetry (S.Port or FBUS)
- Over-The-Air (OTA) FW update
- External battery/device voltage detection
The Archer Plus GR8 8 high-precision PWM channel receivers support full-range signal strength with dual detachable antennas and guarantee optimal antenna reception and range. The GR8 can be used as a Primary receiver in a redundant solution by wiring the SBUS In port and connecting to any other FrSky receiver equipped with an SBUS Out port. With the FBUS protocol, the Archer Plus series receivers can open up the possibility of seamlessly pairing with multiple telemetry devices (XACT servos, ADV Sensors, etc.) as well as simplifying the builds setup.
