- FHSS spread spectrum with 67-channel pseudo-random frequency hopping
- Supports PWM, SBUS and CRSF signal output
- Built-in simulator function via Type-C connection after a firmware upgrade
- Protection against reverse polarity
- Wide operating voltage range: 3–12 V
- Support for online upgrade via Type-C cable
Stable long-range control
FHSS spread spectrum with 67-channel pseudo-random frequency hopping gives strong interference protection, with up to 4000 meters of range in the air and 600 meters at sea, tested in open areas without interference.
Support for PWM, SBUS and CRSF signals
The R12F supports several signal output modes for different RC setups.
- PWM mode: The red LED is steady on and a 12-channel PWM signal is output.
- PWM + SBUS mode: The blue and red LEDs are steady on. CH1 to CH11 output PWM, while CH12 outputs SBUS.
- PWM + CRSF + SBUS mode: The blue, green and red LEDs are steady on. CH1 to CH9 output PWM, CH10 to CH11 output CRSF and CH12 outputs SBUS.
- CRSF + PWM mode: The green and red LEDs are steady on. CH1 to CH9 and CH12 output PWM, while CH10 to CH11 output CRSF.
Built-in simulator function
After a firmware upgrade the R12F works as a PC game joystick via the Type-C port for simulators such as TRYP FPV, AeroFly, Uncrashed, Liftoff, FPV LOGIC, Velocidrone and other open source simulators, needing no extra power and running on Apple and Windows computers.
Reverse polarity protection and wide voltage range
Reverse-polarity protection guards against incorrect power-terminal connection, and the 3-12 V operating voltage also supports high-voltage servos.
Subsidiary ID function
The Subsidiary ID function assigns a specific ID among several bound receivers, useful for long-range rescue, towing, teaching and use with model cars or boats.
Support for online upgrade
Online upgrade via a Type-C data cable to a computer adds new features without any extra device.
Compatible with many model types
With 12-channel output the R12F suits helicopters, aircraft, gliders, multirotors, construction vehicles, racing boats, robots, lawnmowers, bait boats, mechas and other models.

Good to know
Maximum range is tested in open areas without interference and actual range varies with model, installation, environment and signal conditions; the simulator function requires a firmware upgrade and a Type-C data cable.
