If the radio supported that RX then it still does with new firmware. ACCESS radios don't support L9R though, or only with an external module.

Thanks for clear answer Kilrah.
I just wonder when people upgrade the firmware of the transmitter they seem also upgrade the firmware of the receiver, why they do that?
Is it just for having the "best" firmware for the receiver?

FrSky have released ACCST2 firmware to fix an issue with ACCST, but both are not cross-compatible so if you update to it you have to update all your equipment. And if new firmware is released it's usually to fix problems, so it makes sense updating anyway.

Thanks Kilrah! For now I want to stay with ACCSTv1, s.o. I have to downgrade the firmware of telemetry receivers I buy. Wish that there would be an easy method to flash just via Opentx program.

Flashing the receivers using OpenTX already exists using the transmitter. Couldn't be much easier.
