FrSky Archer Plus GR8 – 8 Channel W/ Vario

The FrSky Archer Plus GR8, a great choice for your glider.

This powerful 8 channel receiver features a hard plastic outer case and is shaped to fit in nearly all high performance sailplanes. It wouldn’t be a glider receiver without a high precision variometer, built right into the receiver for hunting down those elusive thermals. Fine tune the settings in your FrSky radio to get audio tones to help track the lift and sink.

The Archer Plus Series receivers include some new features. Firstly an enhanced anti-RF-Interference capability can offer a more solid RF performance, and this is in addition to the receivers with anti-interfere performance in the spark ignition process. These Plus series receivers are also offer both ACCESS and ACCST D16 modes, where the RF protocol is smart matched during the binding process. 

The Archer Plus GR8 8 high-precision PWM channel receivers supports full-range signal strength with dual antennas for optimal antenna reception and range. The GR8 can be used as a Primary receiver in a redundant solution by wiring the SBUS In port and connecting to any other FrSky receiver equipped with an SBUS Out port.

With the powerful FBUS protocol, the Archer Plus series receivers can open up the possibility of pairing with multiple telemetry devices (XACT servos, ADV Sensors, etc.) as well as simplifying the builds setup. 

The Archer Plus GR8 are receivers with an upgraded high-precision variometer that gives pilots more accurate and quicker altitude and vertical speed data, and also features its more accurate and quicker vario audio feedback from your FrSky ACCESS enabled transmitter.
