Overview
TD-ISRM RS RF PERFORMANCE
With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link with multiple operating combinations of RF modes, the TANDEM X20R & X20RS versions are equipped with the TD-ISRM RS built-in RF module which is capable of supporting multiple protocols (like TW, TD, etc).
The TD-ISRM RS RF module has the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of working under TW and ACCESS R9 modes with the same module. In this configuration, the TW receiver and ACCESS R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This RF signal connection solution makes use of three different RF links at the same time in RC applications. This further enhances the RF signal’s reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operations scenarios.
DIFFERENCES IN APPEARANCE & FUNCTIONAL INPUTS
The X20R and X20RS have changed from the original X20 design in appearance. The bottom hand grip adopts the overall design of the PRO version, eliminating the need for an additional grip cover, and allowing the bottom part to be fully grasped by the palm for a more comfortable and relaxed grip. Additionally, the Lite-type external module slot has been adjusted to provide more fitting installation space for external modules of different shapes, making it more convenient.
R and RS versions add 2 extra trims, allowing for more precise tunings during the operations. The slider levers on both sides of the transmitter support adjusting the positioning of the center, catering to different users’ habits and preferences. The primary input components, including trim caps, center-slider caps, and knobs are all made from metal, offering rugged quality and enhanced durability for outdoor use.
UPGRADED ROBUST ANTENNA HANDLE & EXTERNAL LoRa ANTENNA CONNECTORS
The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing the tough conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is better suited for comfort gripping but also does not compromise the antenna’s performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
The X20R & X20RS are also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced long-range control.

Product Spare Parts
I like the radio, how ever working with it and a friend's x20s I cannot really say its worth the extra money going to the RS over the R which is similar price point to the x20s. The scrolling selector wheel is very smooth and light on needing pressure, It is nice having the Twin protocol internal so i can put a multi module on the back and I have bound to my 4 out of 5 HH planes. I am indifferent on the haptic I have never had haptic before and I turned it off as it annoyed me, The 8 I think can be helpful but I still put a SD card in it. The text to speech is lacking in capability. If you are getting this for that feature... Don't.
Everything you need and nothing you can do without. I however a bone to pick! I know it sometimes is impossible to forcast items arrival and so on but the shops should be able to give an approximate arrival time from supplier and when we pay for an item its in good faith. The shop should be able to send out updates to its customers that have paid for an item and never sell an item that is not in stock which is the bone I'm picking on Do Better!
