Like the original DX9, the Black Edition gives you an incredible suite of features that includes voice alerts, 250-model memory, programming for four model types and a wireless trainer link. To this it adds is a stunning, black finish that further sets it apart from everything else in its class.

Programmable Voice Alerts
The DX9 lets you keep tabs on important functions without ever taking your eyes off what you’re flying. You can program voice alerts to call out what flight mode you’ve chosen or report telemetry information on demand. If an alarm goes off, you won’t have to look at the transmitter display to see what’s happening. The DX9 will tell you.

Wireless Trainer Link
This exclusive Spektrum technology gives DX9 users the ability to wirelessly link up with other Spektrum transmitters and specially-equipped Spektrum FPV headsets. Once bound to another transmitter or component, ModelMatch™ technology will allow the DX9 to re-link without having to go through the bind process again.
With Wireless Trainer Link, you could:

  • Wirelessly ''buddy box'' with another DSM2®/DSMX® transmitter when teaching someone to fly.
  • Assign gimbal functions to a 2nd ‘camera’ transmitter when flying a camera drone so you can focus on avoiding obstacles and maintaining visual contact while someone else lines up the shot.
  • Link with specially-equipped Spektrum FPV headsets to wirelessly control head tracking and remotely change video camera frequencies.

250-Model Memory
The enormous capacity of the DX9's on-board memory means you will rarely, if ever, need to juggle models between transmitter memory and your SD card. The model memory menu is easy to navigate too. Only memory slots with model settings saved to them will appear. You won't have to scroll through empty slots or move models around if one is deleted. Because the DX9 uses the same AirWare™ software as many other Spektrum transmitters, you can share model setups across platforms with almost any Spektrum pilot.

Fly Smarter with Built-In Telemetry
The built-in telemetry feature gives you real-time information on things like your model's battery voltage, signal quality, engine or motor temperature, airspeed, altitude and more.*

Using the voice alert system, you can program the DX9 to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch. If you want to review telemetry after a flight, the DX9 can be set up to record the data to its SD card.

*Requires a Spektrum telemetry module and telemetry sensors, sold separately.

Superb Ergonomics
The weight distribution and ergonomics of the DX9 have been optimized to fit the way you fly. The result is a sense of balance and comfort that perfectly complements the speed and precision of DSMX technology.

Notable Features:

  • Comfortable, no-slip rubber grips
  • Adjustable stick length and tension
  • Smooth, quad-bearing gimbals
  • User-adjustable mode configurations (1, 2, 3 or 4)
  • User-assigned switch functions

Spektrum RC DX9 Black 9-Channel Full Range DSMX Transmitter (Transmitter Only)
I was looking for a new radio to work with AS3X receivers and that was also capable of forward programming. I have an old DX8 and once I compared the switch layout the choice was super easy, DX9 Black has an identical switch layout and from what I have read is built off the same chassis as the older DX8. I love the voice prompts, very useful and it seems they streamlined the programming just a bit, while also adding allot of new features, I wish it could be upgraded with the Spektrum updater/AS3X programmer via a USB cable but I can live with the SD card, Airware doesn't get changed too often so its not that big a deal. The screen is very nice and easy to read, seems better than my old DX8 screen for sure. But the ability to program in flight modes with AS3X receivers is a massive increase in peace of mind when flying, also have a full telemetry readout is super handy. Heaving dual diversity antennas was a want of mine as well since I am starting to fly bigger airplanes now, again peace of mind. I have been flying Spektrum TX's since the mid 90's so I think I may have been on-board since the beginning and other than a few small things here and there I have been pleased with almost all of their RC equipment to date. Anyway if you are coming from a DX8 gen1 this is the radio for you! Great product so many features, some I will use and some I won't just like always. As for Amain, ever since the last hobby shop in town closed I am left with a 50+ mile drive to the nearest one, so A-main is now my local shop, I have had zero issues with their service, delivery times etc..... A+
