X20 to X20R

[GarryOgilvie]

I am considering replacing my X20 with a X20R.

Can I transfer all of my models using Ethos Suite and then just rebind the receivers?

Or will there be more than that?

Yes you can perform a model back up using Ethos Suite and then load the models onto your new radio using the restore function.

That is what I thought. It should make the transition easy.

It's done using the model Manager tab in Ethos Suite make sure you have the suite at v1.7.0.

The other thing to consider is setting the owner registration id to match your old transmitter. Then when you power up the new one a simple bind on an existing plane is all that is needed to get things working.

From the manual:
RF system
This section is used to configure the ‘Owner registration ID’, and the internal and/or external RF modules. This is also where receiver binding takes place, and receiver options are configured.
The ‘Owner registration ID’ is an 8 character ID that contains a unique random code, which can be changed if desired. This ID becomes the ‘Registration ID’ when registering a receiver. Enter the same code in the ‘Owner registration ID’ field of your other transmitters you want to use the Smart Share feature with them. This must be done before creating the model you want to use it on.

That is a very good idea.
