About a month ago FRsky released some new EU firmware for the FRsky X series products including the Taranis X9D radio. This new LBT firmware (listen before talk) will be included on all the FRsky products we sell going forward.

The main features of this new firmware is that is fixes some bugs and greatly increases the range and stability of your FRsky equipment. However if you have previous firmware you will need to upgrade both your Taranis and receiver firmware to the LBT versions as LBT firmware is not compatible with previous EU firmware.

What firmware do you have on your radio?

The best way to find out which firmware you have on your radio is to go to the model screen on your taranis, and go to the internal RF mode setting. Depending on the version of firmware you have you will be able to select different options.

  • D8, D16, LR12 - if you can select all three then you have the international firmware and is what was installed by default to all taranis radios before 2015 and is still being used on all non-EU taranis radios.
  • D16 only - This means that you have one of the first versions of the EU-LBT firmware versions on your taranis, if this is the case its a good idea to upgrade all of your equipment.
  • D16, LR12 - this means that you have the newest EU-LBT firmware on your taranis and you can use the radio for both the X-series and L-series recievers. Generaly if you have purchased any FRsky equipment after 2016 it will have this version on it.

How to upgrade your Taranis and Receiver to the latest EU LBT firmware

If your taranis has openTX bootloader 2.1.x and above its super easy to upgrade both the internal firmware and your receivers via the taranis menus itself. For more details on how to do this please read the relevant guide:

The download for the Taranis firmware doesn’t work, whenever I try to click it I get an error instead. Do you have the file for it?

It seems that the FRsky website is abit broken at the moment, I have just contacted them to let them know. My guess is that it will only be fixed on Feb 14th once they get back from lunar year holidays.

I myself don’t have the firmware files saved anymore as I usually just DL to my desktop and delete when done. Hopefully someone else has the file and can share with you

Plss help me!
I just got myself a frsky taranis Q X7 with a x4r receiver. I did everything go change it to lbt firmware:
-changed the open tx firmware through companion
-flashed lbt firmware to internal xjt module
-flashed my x4r receiver via s-port

But it won’t bind!!
I have the 4 ch receiver NOT the 3-16 ch receiver
I selected 1 to 16 ch in the settings menu. Hit bind and turn the x4r on in binding mode. The red led won’t start flashing…

I am affraid the internal module is broken but I hope it is a problem with the Rx since it is cheaper to replace. Any ideas what it could be and what I can do about it?
Thanx!
