X10S ACCESS Mod

[hotdogx]

I have an original FrSky X10S TX and I'd like to be able to use it with the Archer GR6 receiver. It appears if I buy this RF board https://alofthobbies.com/collections/tx-gear/products/frsky-horus-x10s-express-rf-board to replace the stock RF board, and then do a firmware update, I will be able to use ACCESS receivers (such as the Archer GR6). Is that correct?
1. Will I still be able to run ACCST with all of my old receivers, such as the G-RX6?
2. I use OpenTX on my X10S. If I do the firmware update will it do anything to the OpenTX I have installed? It won't mess up any of my model programs, correct?
3. I don't care about the bluetooth trainer function, so I only need to swap out the RF board, correct?
4. What is the version of the firmware update I need? I assume I can download it from the FrSky website.

1 - Yep, can still run ACCST.
2 - You should be fine, but still a great idea to make backups anytime you will be doing this level of surgery.
3 - Correct.
4 - Not sure on this one. Will need to check their site.

Thanks, Wayne. I've ordered the new RF board from Aloft and have downloaded the firmware update. I should be up and running soon.

Installing the new RF board means you will have to re bind any models you have setup on your radio. This is because the RF board stores the UID that receivers respond to after binding.

Henny,
Thanks for that advice. I never thought about that.
