Quick question a new club member has arrived with a very old 9XD plus can I upgrade this to the latest version of firmware or is there a limit to where I can upgrade?
Many thanks

Re: Old Taranis 9xd Plus
If you mean opentx, yes you can. It will only give you features supported in the hardware.
There are limits in the Frsky firmware for the tx. To make it more complicated, recievers have to match the TX firmware. If you have older recievers there is a limit to how far you update.
I have an original Taranis. Eventually, I got a 2019 SE. I used the old Taranis as a back up but soon the old Taranis was relegated to D-8 recievers and DSM2 via a DIY module.

Many thanks the receiver he has is brand new so in theory we can use the latest firmware version 2.3.14? which is what I am running on my 2019 taranis.
Thanks Ian B

Re: Old Taranis 9xd Plus
You can always use the latest Opentx firmware. But the tx and recievers also have firmware you get from Frsky and those two must match and are independent of Opentx.
You won't be able to run Archer series recievers but the "R" series should be OK.
