The FrSky DHT is a flexible and relatively powerful 2.4 GHz transmitter. The kit comes as a DIY package with an RP-SMA connector which makes it easy to switch antennas. The communication is two-way allowing for both Tx and Rx signal strength indication (RSSI).

I will use the D6FR receiver in this setup.

Serial adapter

To connect to the transmitter you need a USB-to-serial adapter. FrSky makes one with the necessary pin-header.

Plug the black header into the corresponding four pins on the transmitter. Power will be provided by the USB-port.

RSSI configuration

The DHT provides a serial data port for configuration of the alarms for the RSSI and the two analog inputs. Download the 3rd-party configuration program and the required drivers.
