FrSky Archer Plus R8 Receiver

FrSky ARCHER PLUS R8 Receiver – Full-Range Precision with Enhanced RF Stability

Overview

Meet the FrSky ARCHER PLUS R8, the latest in the evolved Archer Plus Series, designed to push RF performance to the next level. The R8 is engineered with enhanced anti-RF-interference capabilities, ensuring smoother signal transmission—even through the spark of an ignition system. With both ACCESS and ACCST D16 modes, the R8 smartly selects the appropriate RF protocol during the binding process, making it easy to get connected and stay connected.

One of the standout features is its Black-Box functionality, allowing you to record essential flight data (think power and signal info) for later analysis. The receiver’s dual detachable antennas offer full-range performance, guaranteeing optimal signal reception and range in all conditions. The R8 also serves as a perfect primary receiver in redundant setups, thanks to its SBUS In port.

For those into telemetry, the R8 opens up even more possibilities with the FBUS protocol, allowing seamless integration with devices like XACT servos and ADV Sensors, simplifying your builds and offering flexible telemetry options. And with Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates, you can keep your gear up to date without the hassle of cables.
