Q: Do the NX Transmitters (NX6/NX8/NX10) have diversity antennas?
A: All three have diversity antennas. The second antenna is located behind the transmitter nameplate. On the DX transmitters the antenna is in the transmitter handle.

Q: Do the NX transmitters provide power to the serial port located on the back of the transmitter?
A: Although all the NX transmitters have a serial port, only the NX10 provides power to the port (9.5V). The NX6 and NX8 will require an external power source for the 3rd party module.

Q: Do the NX transmitters support the Immersion RC Ghost module?
A: Currently no, but we are working with Immersion to add compatibility.

Q: Do the NX transmitters have an Android interface?
A: No, the NX transmitters do not use Android. They are an updated version of the DX Airware interface.

Q: Are the DX transmitters going away?
A: Yes, the DX6, DX8, and DX9 are going to be discontinued. The “e” versions (DX6e / DX8e) are staying in the product line up for years to come.

Q: Is Horizon Hobby still provide customer support to DX radios?
A: Yes, we will support DX radios for years to come. Also, we are going to provide Airware updates for the foreseeable future. Support for new features could be left out if the older hardware cannot support these new features.

Q: Do all NX transmitters feature Halleffect gimbals?
A: Only the NX10 has Halleffect gimbals. Also, at this time, it is not going to be offered as an upgrade for NX6 or NX8.

Q: Can the NX transmitter share files with DX and iX transmitters?
A: Yes, you can share model files from DX to NX, but not from NX to DX. The iX can share models between DX, and NX.

A: No. The NX6 and NX8 come with a 1S 2000mAh battery, while the NX10 includes a 6000mAh battery. The higher capacity battery can be used in the NX6 and NX8 if desired.
Connector and size will fit with no issue after removing foam padding inside battery tray.
