RADIOLINK T16D APPARATUS + R16F receiver

The T16D is a 16-channel computer transmitter for recreational modelers, allowing you to set basic functions such as yaw speed and direction. It also has a wide range of mixers to control a wide range of models, including motorized aerobatic models, gliders, multi-rotors, cars, other ground vehicles and boats. It can operate with an internal RF module with the FHSS transmission system (the same as the T8FB/T8S pistol transmitters or RadioLink R4GS/R6GS/R8X), but also allows connection of external ELRS or TBS Crossfire long-range RF modules. It has a practical case that fits perfectly in the hand, with a classic, proven ergonomic layout of controls.

Controls: The main functions are controlled by precision gimbals with adjustable self-centering spring tension and the ability to move the ratcheting throttle axis left or right. This allows free selection of 1-4 gimbal modes. The digital trimmers have audio signals for setting steps and center position. They are located slightly off-center and are easy to reach. Additional channels can be controlled by two rotary knobs on the front panel and two self-centering rotary controllers on the back of the transmitter; eight switches (three 3-position and five 2-position) can be used as channel switches or to enable/disable program functions. For easy programming, there are two buttons and a programming knob/button, and a 2.8-inch color LCD display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels. The transmitter uses the FreeRTOS operating system.

Transmitter power supply: The T16D can be powered by a variety of sources: 8 AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries inserted into the holder supplied with the transmitter, rechargeable NiMH batteries with 8 cells (AA size), or LiPo or Li-ion 2-4S batteries. Power can also be supplied from a power bank via a USB-C port.

Transmission system: The T16D uses frequency-hopping FHSS transmission to ensure long range, reliability and excellent anti-interference performance. For the internal RF module, you can choose between three FHSS transmission protocols with different transmission speeds (14 ms for analog servos, 4 or 3 ms for digital servos), depending on the type of RadioLink receiver and servos used. When using a telemetry receiver, it allows transmission of telemetry from the receiver, as well as telemetry from the connected RadioLink flight control unit, if used. Two-way ELRS and CRSF V2 protocols are available for use with external modules.

Software: the T16D offers programs for eight types of models - classic aircraft, flying wings/delts, multi-rotors, helicopters, cars, boats, tracked vehicles/tanks and robots, with the ability to work with RadioLink control units for aircraft, drones, vehicles and even fishing boats, including the corresponding telemetry.

• Memory for 100 models with the ability to copy and rename models
• System settings (display brightness, contrast and backlight, menu language, etc.)
• Selectable gimbal mode 1-4
• Servo monitor
• Changing tilt directions
• Setting deflection coefficients (end points)
• Servo speed
• Free assignment of functions and controls to channels 5-16
• 8 freely programmable mixes with selectable progression: linear, exponential, broken curve, 9-point curve
• Switchable control unit mode (up to 17 modes)
• 3 flight modes
• Dual rates and selectable yaw progression (exponential, broken curve, 9-point curve) for channels 1, 2 and 4
• Throttle curve (up to 9 points)
• Throttle setting (engine shutdown in aircraft, autorotation in helicopters)
• Mixture for butterfly tail surfaces
• Mixer for flying wings/delts
• Mixer for remote control of gyro gain (for RadioLink receivers with built-in gyro)
• Collective pitch curve for helicopters
• Mixes for helicopters (swashplate)
• Mixes for tracked vehicles
• Bait boat control (only with R16F receiver and RadioLink control unit with GPS) enabling a route consisting of up to 100 points
• Auxiliary ID: allows you to control multiple models with receivers paired with the transmitter without switching model memories (e.g., you can drive out in a trailer with a loaded excavator; when you arrive at the construction site, switch the switch to activate the auxiliary ID, and you will be able to control the excavator from then on).
• 2 timers
• Switch assignment
• Assign audio messages to individual switch positions (you can send your own voice messages to the transmitter, e.g. to announce flight modes or release landing gear, and assign them to individual switch positions)
• Telemetry voice output
• USB-C port for updating transmitter software or controlling the RC simulator on a computer (V1.7.1 and above)
• Trainer socket for wired connection of 2 RadioLink transmitters

Compatible receivers: RadioLink R12F, R16F, R8FM, R8SM, R8XM, R8FGH, R8FG, R7FG, R6FG, R6F, R6FGM, R4F.
The R16F receiver supplied in the kit allows you to select several channel output modes (16 PWM outputs for classic servos, 15xPWM + S.BUS, 13xPWM+S. BUS+RX/TX CRSF, 14xPWM + RX/TX CRSF) with combinations of PWM outputs for classic servos, S.BUS serial output and input/output for CRSF. This allows easy connection of classic servos, S.BUS servos and other devices, control units, etc.

Telemetry:

• When using the internal RF FHSS module and RadioLink telemetry receivers, information about the receiver's power supply voltage and RSSI signal strength is available; with the R16F receiver, you can also measure and display the voltage, for example, of the drive battery up to 6S LiPo on the transmitter. You can also set threshold levels for low signal or low voltage alerts. When using a RadioLink control unit, telemetry data from the unit can be displayed.
• When using an external RF module with CRSF protocol and a suitable receiver, it is possible to display telemetry data from this receiver.
