Heck I ordered mine in July and still haven't gotten it. I have the PingRID. I like looking at the extra data, Great video on the SkyRID Jeff in LA USA
My original order was made in September. When I contacted Horizon about it a month ago, I was informed that the order had been cancelled. Apparently, some financial institutions will not allow a transaction that is several months old to go through. Because I'd ordered at the special pre-order price, Horizon put $30 worth of reward credits into my account so that I could reorder at essentially the pre-order pricing. After that, there was a short delay when they went out of stock again, but it arrived within around three weeks of the order. Oddly enough, the last two orders I've made from Horizon have not had the order status updated to show that the items had shipped. I think with the ongoing updates to their website, order statuses are not being updated. Since I never received a shipping notification, I suspect the cancelled order notifications may not be getting sent out, either, until customer service replies to an inquiry.
@@Hoomi2 When I ordered mine it soon after they were on sale for $69. I used PayPal that does have a time limit but I didn't know that until I saw "order canceled" and called HH, I don't get shipping information still. Have a great weekend Jeff
Newbie here using an NX8, and the plane is an Apprentice STS 1.5. The remote ID light is on and steady, I went to telemetry like this video shows and put in gps and airspeed, scrowled to the gps screen, but there's no data showing up. What am I missing?
There are a lot of variables but initialize the remote outside with clear view to the sky to be sure it connects. To verify it’s working, and if you have an iPhone, go to App Store and search “Drone Scanner” using quotes. That’s what it’s called. I use this one. After you install you will see remote IDs in your area which will likely just be you. If you see yourself you’re good. If nothing shows up it’s not yet broadcasting right.
Nice video! I followed your instructions but I don't get the GPS screen that shows lat and long. I double click but all I get is the same orig. GPS screen. Any ideas? Thanks again for the video.
How many satellites does it say it has acquired? Be sure you’re actually connected. You can try turning the radio and plane off and restarting. Be sure it has clear view of sky and time to connect. Also, Spektrum has just offered an update to most radios including DX8Gen2. I may do a video. This lets you just scroll to see GPS data.
Shows 18 satellites and drone scanner app picks it up. I believe it's connected, flashing light turned solid. I updated my dx8g2 last night and now all I can scroll to is the monitor screen. The previous software would show all telemetry screens. that's all gone now.
When I’m hooked up, I scroll from main screen and see Monitor first, then GPS screen which shows lat/long. I also pick myself upon Drone Scanner app on my phone with same lat/long. When you scroll do you see GPS screen?

The best feature of this module is that your model will fly much better without it.
I was amazed at the results from plugging mine into the 115 volt house voltage.
Before the inconsiderate drone A-holes came around, we RC'ers were doing just fine without Remote ID.
That pretty much sums it up
Easy to set up my dudes. Chill. I received my a few days ago and setup.

Thanks Jeff! If you ordered from Horizon in July I think I’d contact them lol. Works good so far.
@@6SRC_YT it's been backordered until March. They messed up my first order due to me using Paypal. The #$#%

Fuck FAA registration.
Can you show a how to of upgrading software on the RX ?
Remote ID is to RID the air space of our hobby, DO NOT COMPLY!
Yes

@6SRC_YT I've done what you suggested with 4 different apps, and it is definitely working. Just not on the NX8. 🤔
One possibility, have you installed latest firmware update for the nx8?
@6SRC_YT I haven't, but I'm going to. Thanks for your imput here. I appreciate it. 😁
What app do you use for your phone?
For iPhone, search “Drone Scanner” in the App Store. There are many but that’s actually the name. Blue flower-like logo.
@@6SRC_YT thank you

Good!
@@neomatrix3612 love the salad fingers pic 👍 had to watch a few after seeing your comment 🤣
@@jordancoleman2402 hahaha, I like Rusty Spoons. Salad Fingers doesn't like RID.
@@neomatrix3612 I'd rather strap a rusty spoon to my RC helicopters/airplanes and drones than a remote ID module 🤣
@@jordancoleman2402 🤣🤣
humbug
Mine killed my foamy
Mine failed after 1 day of use! Made in China!
Sorry about that. Definitely contact Horizon.
that's karma.
This junk is the reason I stopped flying, quit the AMA, quit the FAA and left the hobby!
Because of a $99 requirement? Lame. You sound like one of those dumb libertarians.
