The next-generation DX8 takes 8-channel sophistication to new heights with features and capabilities that eclipse those of almost everything else in its class. Voice alerts, 250-model memory, wireless trainer, 4 model types – you get it all and more.
Diversity Antenna
Using a combination of vertical and horizontal arrays, the diversity antenna provides superb protection against polarization blind spots, ensuring your receiver always “sees” the signal.
Programmable Voice Alerts
The DX8 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 DX8 will tell you.
Wireless Trainer Link
This exclusive Spetkrum technology gives DX8 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 DX8 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 frequencies on the fly.
250-Model Memory
The enormous capacity of the DX8'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 easier 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 DX8 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 DX8 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 DX8 can be set up to record the data to its SD card.
*Requires a Spektrum telemetry module and telemetry sensors, sold separately.

Yes, you can easily change the mode on these yourself.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
If you have a very old DSM (i.e. not DSM2 or DSMX) receiver, then yes all later Spektrum DSMX transmitters won't bind to it (not just this one)
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Yes we can ship worldwide - shipping costs are calculated when you checkout.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
They are all supplied as mode 2, but they are very easy to swap over (instructions are provided in the manual).
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Anything will work - models don't take up much space.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
No, these are DSMX
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Left out the box - but easy to change yourself
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
It's an easy process to swap over - should take you less than 5 minutes to do this yourself
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
They come in a Spektrum cardboard box with a foam inner.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
These come "out the box" as mode 2.
If you want to run them as mode 1, that's very easy to switch over yourself - it just takes 5 mins to do.
