Overview
The NX6 2.4GHz DSMX radio marks an evolution in Spektrum air transmitters for new to intermediate-level pilots. It's the first 6-channel radio in the Spektrum lineup to be equipped out-of-the-box with Smart Technology compatibility. The NX6 therefore comes ready to provide the advantages of state-of-the-art connectivity and telemetry — just pair it with Spektrum Smart batteries and Smart Avian ESCs.
The NX6 radio's Wi-Fi connectivity adds more convenience. In addition to completing product registration straight from the transmitter, you'll be able to download firmware updates instantly. It's a totally modern user experience with some of the same features found on the top-of-the-line Spektrum iX Series radios.
Proven Spektrum radio expertise is also evident in the NX6 transmitter's ergonomic design. Its contours, balance, and control positions combine to add precision to your inputs and offer unparalleled comfort. An easy-to-use roller wheel interface simplifies programming, with a large 3.2", high-resolution color display to make menus easy to read. Spektrum even includes a rechargeable 1S 2000mAh Li-Ion transmitter battery.
The NX6 is the Smart choice in a 6-channel air radio, delivering unexpected power and the innovative connectivity available only from Smart Technology. It's available as a transmitter only or packaged with the Spektrum AR6610T 6-channel DSMX/DSM2 receiver — which is compatible with Spektrum Avian Smart ESCs for experiencing the full benefits of flying "Smart".
SMART TECHNOLOGY
The Spektrum NX6 comes ready to provide the advantages of state-of-the-art connectivity right out of the box by supporting the innovative, all-in-one telemetry of Spektrum Smart batteries, ESCs and receivers. Smart Technology ensures that all of your model's electronics work together seamlessly for the greatest efficiency and performance. It keeps you aware of every component's status, boosts your confidence in its capabilities, and makes your entire system more responsive and simple to use.
WI-FI AND USB CONNECTIVITY
When connected to Wi-Fi, the NX6 transmitter gets even smarter. You can complete product registration right from the transmitter and download firmware updates instantly. A micro USB port allows you to charge the internal Li-Ion battery with an ordinary USB-to-Micro USB cable. It can also be used to recognize accessory devices and provide a convenient link to your PC or laptop. Connect the NX6 transmitter to your computer and you can control most simulators, including the RealFlight RC Flight Simulator.*
*Currently compatible only with RF8 and RF9.
VOICE ALERTS
With voice alerts, the NX6 lets you keep tabs on important functions without ever taking your eyes away from your aircraft. They can be programmed to call out what flight mode you've chosen or to 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 NX6 will tell you. A headphone jack allows you to monitor voice alerts using earbuds so you don't bother other pilots.
EASY PROGRAMMING
The NX6 offers 10 flight modes for airplanes, 10 for sailplanes, 5 for multirotor aircraft, and 4 for helicopters. Six programmable mixes are available. Channel 7 can be used as a two or three position channel for SAFE select or flight mode selection for our BNF aircraft, freeing up the primary 6 channels to use for control surfaces. Navigating program menus is made easy by the transmitter's large, 3.2" color display and a roller-wheel scrolling interface with Clear, Back, and Function buttons. Function bar options include Telemetry Ticker Tape for following real-time telemetry data and "My List" to give you quick access to the menu items you select, organized however you wish. You'll have quick, uncluttered access to the features you use the most!
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The NX6 transmitter's weight distribution and switch placement (three 2-position, five 3-position) have been optimized for your comfort and precise, fatigue-free control. Rubber grips make it easy to hold the radio securely. Its antenna folds conveniently to the front for compact storage and transport. It also helps to prevent accident powering on by partially blocking the power button.
WIRELESS TRAINER LINK
The wireless trainer link allows instructor pilots to wirelessly "buddy box" the NX6 with another DSM2/DSMX transmitter. Once bound to another transmitter, ModelMatch technology enables the NX6 to re-link without going through the bind process again.
DSMX TECHNOLOGY
The NX6 transmitter is built around proven Spektrum DSMX 2.4GHz frequency-agile technology — the most advanced spread spectrum RC technology to date. By adding the agility of unique frequency shifts to the superior interference resistance of a wideband signal, and by limiting those shifts to a smaller portion of the 2.4GHz band, DSMX transmitters provide on-channel interference protection that's second to none.
AR6610T TELEMETRY RECEIVER
The Spektrum AR6610T is a compact, DSMX/DSM2 compatible, 6-channel receiver that produces lightning-fast response. Used with Spektrum Avian Smart ESCs, it provides one-wire telemetry data without needing modules, links, and wires. A bind button allows for easy binding without a bind plug. Two external antennas ensure secure RF coverage from all angles of your aircraft.
