Great review. On the battery compartment... They went from "so tight you can barely get the battery out" to "baby rattle loose"... but I think that was so you could use to 21700 5000mah battery pack with it ;) if you look closer at the battery compartment, you'll also see a cutout for the XT30 lead. And if we modelers can't figure out how to stop the rattle with a piece of foam, we shouldn't be in the hobby! 🤣 While I also wouldn't have minded the pots on the top for sound and brightness, at the same time I think we're expecting too much TX16S and starting to clutter an otherwise well spaced out layout.
The battery thing is an easy fix which begs the question why wasn't it fixed. As a reviewer if I don't call that type of thing out, I get called out. Controlling volume is just kludgy without a knob. I've used the firmware to work around this th-cam.com/video/NqL6yUOfNPU/w-d-xo.html but nothing beats a physical apparatus to control volume. Just an opinion though. I'm sure plenty of people get by on plenty of radios without using a knob.
@@RCVideoReviews Newest shipped models have a couple of bits of what looks like pool noodle foam to hold the battery tray centered. Looks like they're listening. 😉
Glad your back making these great reviews. Think I need a couple of these momentary switches for my TX16s but would be nice to have small ones like in the Zorro. Be great for timer rest or auto trim. Again glad your back and all the help this morning.
Charging and battery holder are minute issues. #1 While charging; even if the port was on the bottom, you would still lie it on the back. #2 Battery holder; just cut-off a custom piece of foam. Or use the sponge landing pads that you buy in a box.
I meant to comment last month when my tx12 arrived, but I wanted to mention that I purchased direct from Radiomaster along with their lipo battery, and it came installed in the tray with some very snug foam in there. Not sure if the foam is new or they did it just because I bought the battery along with it, but no rattles here!
Agreed. But I’m guessing because they want to sell 4-1 TX16s with ELRS modules. And because the FPV drone guys are their main customer and they ALL want longer range.
Hello nice tutorial, but I must say I am in a deep trouble , hoping you guys could help me ,I am very new to this field , this is my first build with Pixhawk 2.4.8 and Mission planner. I am planning to buy TX12 Mark II Radio Controller (ELRS version) , please help me choose a receiver, I am unable to figure out what is needed for my quadcopter and also what is the difference between RP1 ,RP2,RP3 ELRS Nano Receivers and ER4 ER6 ER8 2.4GHz ELRS PWM receivers? please help me and also do I only have to buy the receiver or any other extra hardware with it ?
They should have just allowed you to upgrade the v1 tx12. I like my radio more with the dual charge, comm usb C port. I like the grips more on mine. I just wish it had ELRS instead of the useless multiprotocol module.
Ty for your Knowledge.... So I just recieved this radio and bought an External Frsky Module. Watching this vid and now I think I should of purchased the Muli Module instead? See I have most Expfress but a couple of my first crafts are frsky! Any help would be greatly appreciated
So another words which protocols work with this radio, The Frsky Lua scripts that are on here and tbs lua? They put these different naming Frsky Lua's but don't explain what there for or what they work with? As if its a secret or something lol...
The only thing you really need to do with software is to make sure your ELRS tx and rx are running the same versions. The firmware that comes with the TX12 is fine.
A couple of things not made completely clear John. I presume by the look of the socket internally that the trainer socket has been changed from that stupid 4-gang odd plug to a standard 3-gang audio plug compatible with FRSky, Spektrum etc? Also are the back mounted additional push buttons plugged in in place of an existing switch or into a spare socket on the board? If the latter, where?
The momentary and latching buttons are for the TX16Smk2, not the TX12 ;) On the tx16smk2 there is a hole on the back that has a rubber stopper fitted, which you can remove to fit one of the switched, as well as extra sockets on the main board.
@@pfeerick Oops, my mistake again! I thought that I had seen someone pull a rubber bung out of the back of one of these somewhere. Obviously been watching too much TH-cam lately! 🙄 Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow Peter. 👍👍🙃
Thanks for the video I think it's a cool radio that I really think I might get it for my small planes I do have a couple bigger planes on my TX16S but I'm having issues with getting firmware upgrade because my laptop doesn't seem to have STM32 bootloader so I'm stuck and I want to thank you for warning me about bootloader on one of your other videos or I would never have known what the problem was. So thank you for the video on the tx12 MK2 I think I'm going to order it until I get the other one updated.
You're welcome. FYI: You can remove the SD card from the radio, put it in your PC like other SD cards and copy the firmware to it. Put the card back in the radio and flash from the radio without ever using the USB connection.
Yes, you can use pretty much any JR bay module with the original TX12. But if you mean to get the internal one out of the TX12, I would suggest not as it is basically a one board deign.
To clarify, the max wattage for the ELRS module is 100mw. It's true that even at 100mw ELRS has great range, but the fact the that this limit was barely eluded to implies that RM and the reviewer(s) know that this limit is not very marketable.
Just about everything you said is wrong. The max power is 250mw not 100mw. ELRS is so good even at 10mw I don't bother setting mine any higher than 100mw--especially for LOS. So even if the max were 100mw, it would be more than enough unless you plan on flying many many miles away. Is "barely eluded to" different than "directly shown" or are they the same thing because it was directly shown in this video. There is no conspiracy in place. 100mw is fine, and the module provides 250mw.
It is, is it? So why does my mk2 let me set it to 250mw? Lol. John just happen to stop at 100mw in the video, it's not the max! It would however be nice if RM actually mentioned the wattage on the store page.
@@RCVideoReviews My apologies for the implications. I was/am referring to 6:34 ~, where you go to 100mw and stop. Granted, at some point, I may have tuned out - squirrel!.. I really don't see where you said 250mw. 10mw is OK for LOS, I use it often at the park. I'm not a math scientist, but my thought was/is higher MWs is better for penetration; like flying around parking garages, etc. No? I mean, what If I wanted to fly to the center of the Earth, would 250mw be enough? At the very mostest I was being a teensy bit sardonic before. and now. and probably later.
I have a question. I’m brand new to the hobby and I’m looking for a good transmitter to buy and the question I want to ask is that, you showed that it has Elrs installed but is the Fs in their also another receiver or is that something else and do you need to get another module to work with other drones?
@@FireChicken747 The ELRS comes only with the ELRS internal module. You can buy and install an external multi-protocol module at the back to open up a whole lot of options to fly many models. I bought an IRange IRX4 MPM module to do just that.
Hi there,i have a question or u can say confusion.i got my tx12 mk2 and the first mistake I made,i powered on the radio without the antenna,i actually forgot to install then as soon as I hear the welcome mssg i realise the antenna is not there so i quickly shut it down,will it harm the radio for that?it's still working tho but no idea what goin on inside.
@@sansjunk actually it was not the very first time,my bad i forgot to mention i actually checked when i got the radio it was binded to someone else's quad for checking then i detached the antenna and leave it in the box then after i got my quad,now this time when i powered it on the antenna was not there.Thats y m scared tho as I mentioned it's still working but is there any way that i can check if everything is fine by signal strength or something?
@@as1asim Ah OK. I believe you should still be fine since you didn't leave it powered ON without the antenna for too long and hopefully the ELRS module was set to low power (10mW). You can do a range check by setting it to low power and then walking away and ensuring you still have a good LQ and are able to control the model.
For B&W radios, it should be, as they hadn't had as many changes as the colorlcd radios. But as with any pre-release firmware build, do the bench tests to make ensure everything is working as expected.
I wouldn't hesitate to fly it. I have a degree of faith in the Edge team and Radiomaster. I don't believe they would release a firmware on a production radio that had untested core features. There are a lot of new features coming in 2.8 for color radios with LVGL, but that doesn't apply to these mono targets.
@@rct2 okay. BTW rct2, what do you think about all gubments drawing a line around you(Antarctic Treaty) and saying you are not allowed to leave? If you don't know what I mean, read my about tab.
Need, no it doesn't. I could also ask how do I access model or radio settings with one button press on the t-Pro (spoiler, you can't)? Radiomaster have preferenced single function buttons over multifunction, which is the more user friendly design. Separate sys and MDL keys, instead of combined. Separate page and back back keys, instead of combined.
@@pfeerick I’d much rather long press a button on the T-Pro rather than find a bunch of different buttons on the Radiomaster. I’ve used the Q X7 for almost 5 years, so using only 3 buttons is what I’m used to.
That's the beauty of different manufacturers (and designs), isn't it... You can go with what suits your preferences (or, these days, even 3D print and make your own!).
Thank you for the first look at this radio. I am not very tech knowledgeable but after watching your channel for the last several months have been wanting to try the radiomaster radios. After being away for 20+ years I just bought a used Spektrum to get started flying again. Do you think this would be good for a place to start for someone with limited funds?
It definitely would be a good option if you have limited funds. That was actually one of my conclusions at the end of the video. As long as you understand its limitations: Fewer switches, smaller form factor, internal ELRS vs standard 4-in-1.
Hi! I have the elrs version of TX 12Mk2 only to find out it does't have MULTI protocol(at leat in the radio setting). I only see CSFR (the elrs receiver I ordered is on the way yet so I cant test the crossfire part). Am I correct to say it really doesn't support other protocol? Then, playing with the EdgeTX Companion, I accidentally, was able to set "MULTI" in the internal RF of the radio! I got excited but sadly I had no luck binding both Radiomaster and flysky receivers to it. I might be doing it wrong (binding) or is it just a setting glitch and the radio is still saying " I'm ELRS only"? i feel bummed I cant use the radiomaster receiver I just bought. Thanks in advance.
Comrade: I heard you weren't well, I'm relieved to see you back on the air & hope you are feeling better. I love that EdgeTX is already installed out of the gate. I currently have Jumper T18 & I'm wondering if the board inside the radio featured in this video would support a touchscreen mod upgrade as easily as my jumpert18, which was basically plug in the digitizer and desolder a coupe resistors off the board or if the touchscreen mod would be major surgery. On the jumper T18, touchscreen mod was a simple operation not unlike a vasectomy,: get a local anesthetic & of a couple snips, afterwards you can touch to your hearts content, but, iif the radiomaster isn't so easy we are looking at a heart transplant type operation and I'm sure the patient will expire on the table. Is there an expansion plug for a digitizer on the board for this radiomaster?
No, there is no touchscreen support onboard, and even if there was, there is no software support for it *at all*. The t18 was possible because it was actually designed for that from the start (although jumper did botch the job - hence the resistor mod, which is why they didn't officially add touch support).
@@pfeerick gracias, Peter. Took me quite a while to find anything helpful regarding why it didn't work right away when I plugged in the digitizer on my T18 jumper. I felt quite mislead as I thought the touchscreen was already ready already when I bought the thing & only awaiting software support:. I forget the exact wording but that's basically what the marketing wank read regarding touch support on the j T18. I likely would have pulled the trigger on the Radiomaster had I known at the time. Pity about this radio, but I bet subsequent touch radios from radiomaster will feature Edge out of the box & I'll get one of those. Thanks again
"marketing wank" is spot on... They said something like "touch screen ready" (well as vague enough references you thought that like the TX16S it was just waiting software support) and were promising digitiser panel and "HD" display upgrades... neither of which eventuated.

On the jumper T18, touchscreen mod was a simple operation not unlike a vasectomy,: get a local anesthetic & of a couple snips, afterwards you can touch to your hearts content, but, iif the radiomaster isn't so easy we are looking at a heart transplant type operation and I'm sure the patient will expire on the table. Is there an expansion plug for a digitizer on the board for this radiomaster?
No, there is no touchscreen support onboard, and even if there was, there is no software support for it *at all*. The t18 was possible because it was actually designed for that from the start (although jumper did botch the job - hence the resistor mod, which is why they didn't officially add touch support).
@@pfeerick gracias, Peter. Took me quite a while to find anything helpful regarding why it didn't work right away when I plugged in the digitizer on my T18 jumper. I felt quite mislead as I thought the touchscreen was already ready already when I bought the thing & only awaiting software support:. I forget the exact wording but that's basically what the marketing wank read regarding touch support on the j T18. I likely would have pulled the trigger on the Radiomaster had I known at the time.
Pity about this radio, but I bet subsequent touch radios from radiomaster will feature Edge out of the box & I'll get one of those. Thanks again
"marketing wank" is spot on... They said something like "touch screen ready" (well as vague enough references you thought that like the TX16S it was just waiting software support) and were promising digitiser panel and "HD" display upgrades... neither of which eventuated.

I have to send him a quarter every time I use those words. DANGIT! Now I owe him $.50!
Hello John welcome back good video
Hey Dave, Thanks :)
