FrSky TW R12 Receiver – Dual-Band Reliability for Long-Range RC Control
Overview
The FrSky TW R12 Receiver is engineered for RC pilots who demand bulletproof resilience and extended range in their setups. Equipped with the TWIN series TW active-active protocol, the R12 receiver leverages two active 2.4GHz frequency bands simultaneously, providing unprecedented signal stability. Unlike traditional redundancy solutions that only switch to a backup frequency when the primary signal fails, the TW protocol ensures both bands are always operational, so you’re always in control.
The TW R12 stands out for its 12 configurable channel ports, which can be assigned as PWM, SBUS, FBUS, or S.Port, allowing maximum customization. For those who prefer clean setups, the FBUS protocol streamlines the connection between signal control and telemetry, consolidating communication through a single wire. This simplicity makes the TW R12 an ideal choice for complex builds requiring fewer wires.
Additionally, the TW R12 supports a built-in power switch function using standard XT30 power connectors and offers robust overload protection to safeguard connected devices. With Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates, you can easily keep your receiver up to date, wirelessly and hassle-free.
