New spektrum receivers compatible with old modules?

[matt]

Hi all.
Getting ready to start racing again. I've just got a ko universe radio with a spektrum pro module and was wondering if the new range of small receivers work with it?
I was looking at this one

But was concerned over the part that says
**Requires a DSM2/DSMR transmitter capable of a 5.5ms frame rate.
Thanks

I fairly sure not

spectrum modules are 1st generation DSM only (not DSM2/DSMR) so you need the 3500 if you want a micro receiver

Thats what i was thinking.
Do you know if any of the new recs will work?

You need to find a spectrum receiver that is compatible with DSM, think the new ones are for DSM2 only.

If it is DSM then DSM2/DSMR will not work. I think they had to stop selling DSM and DSM2 due to a change of eec regulations. It has affected me on my flying Spektrum gear too as my flight module is DSM2. I have plenty to get on with but you will need to buy second hand.

The new transmitters are backwards compatible i,e a DSMR tranny will work with an older DSM receiver, but the old transmitters are not forwards compatible.

You've got the first generation DSM spektrum module in your transmitter and unfortunately spektrum no longer make/support any DSM kit now. They haven't made transmitter modules for a good few years now.

Spektrum have just announced a new wheel transmitter that is backward compatible with every version of their protocol exept DSM, think they are just looking for every one to upgrade.

Anyway if you are looking for a compatible receiver the micro one is a SR3500 or the bigger one is a SR301 you'll be luck to find any because they are no longer supported.

I'm in the same boat when or if my module fails I'll need to upgrade all of my receivers.
