These Hyperion 8-channel receivers offer the highest performance and largest feature set in R/C receivers today, in an extremely compact and lightweight package. With Transmitter Signal Recognition (TSR) the receivers learn the characteristics, or the 'signature' of your transmitter, and this means that it can reject signals from another transmitter on your channel, should someone inadvertently switch on.

Considering size and price, these Berg technology receivers sport a feature set that outclasses every other receiver on the market. Fully programmable Fail Safe (FS) or Signal Hold options, Transmitter Signal Recognition, and programmable channel 5 or channel 9.

This receiver is designed to work with all major brands of transmitters such as: JR, Futuba, Hitec, Airtronics, Multiplex and GWS. Don't be scared of this receiver because it is not the same brand as yor transmitter - it's performance will blow you away. Many customers have now replaced all of their receivers for Hyperion receivers because they just work that well!


These are rather special receivers… As soon as powered ON, the receiver learns the characteristics, or the ‘signature’ of your transmitter. For 72MHz radios (Berg 6 DSP) this includes type of modulation (positive shift, JR, Airtronics, Multiplex) or negative shift (Futaba, Hitec), and the receiver automatically adjusts to work with either shift type. For 35/36MHz and 40MHz, shift is not an issue, so this feature is not required in the Hyperion DSP*6 receivers.

Then, it learns (and remembers) the number of channels, the keying pulse, and the approximate frame rate of the transmitter. After that process is completed (it takes all of a few seconds), the receiver will only listen to that particular transmitter. This process which we call Transmitter Signature Recognition, or TSR, gets ‘refreshed’ every time you turn the receiver ON.

The receiver then starts decoding your transmitter’s commands and passes these on to the servos. Should the receiver temporarily lose the signal from the transmitter then it will ‘fill in’ the missing pulse or pulses. This condition is called HOLD. It does this indefinitely, but it will start passing good pulses to the servos again as soon as the radio link is restored. This process works much, much faster than with PCM systems, and that is a very real advantage over PCM failsafe.

HOLD is the default method the receiver uses. You also have the option to pre-program all servo positions when signal is lost, using Fail Safe Mode.
Should you decide to turn ON the FailSafe (FS) mode, then be careful! You should plan the way you program Fail Safe with forethought. When signal is lost in Fail Safe mode, there is 2 seconds of HOLD, then all servos will revert to your pre-programmed position.
If you program the throttle FS position to FULL THROTTLE, for example, your system will go to full throttle about 2 seconds after the radio link is lost. If you taxi into the pits and forget to turn off the receiver switch before turning off your transmitter the Fail Safe mode will start at whatever positions you programmed. Obviously, then, you need to carefully consider the Fail Safe programming - especially throttle position!
NEVER TURN THE TRANSMITTER OFF BEFORE TURNING THE RECEIVER OFF.

TURNING ON: TRANSMITTER ON FIRST, THEN RECEIVER ON.

TURNING OFF: RECEIVER OFF FIRST, THEN TRANSMITTER OFF

But you will find that this receiver has quite a bit of range, so you may never experience the HOLD or FS mode entry in actual flight. In most cases of poor signal recovery occurs well before fail safe mode is entered.

The receiver does not come with a crystal at this price. We suggest Berg brand crystals as the best choice, but JR single conversion, or JR-compatible brands, such as GWS, may also be used. As always, range check before using any receiver in a new installation.
