It all depends on where you are.guzzimeister wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 02:13I've just bought 2 of the XHT boards, one to do a straightforward Fleet XP/FM conversion and the other to do a full conversion of a Fleet TX to s/c plus all the bells and whistles using Phil Green's board. I can report that they do have D8 capability as they are driving the 3 D8 receivers I got from ebay. They also can transmit D16. Forgive my ignorance but what is the problem with D8?F2B wrote: Again, I'm not as concerned about non-LBT protocols causing any danger in normal flying (if the applicable 'grandfathers rights' would, continuing the use of my DJT/DFT and DHT, I bought before the cut off date, would be rendered illegal on the spot but it isn't)
However, in case of any legal issues (crash, damage, injury) using anything outside a CE could be a very expensive adventure in the end.
But what is it, D8+CE or D8, so no CE? I don't know....

There is no problem with D8 in itself, but if you are in a region where CE rules apply, you're not allowed using any new Tx modules that don't have a current CE approval.
An XHT, that still has the option of the D8 protocol hasn't. The CE approved XHT won't transmit in D8.
So while technically not a problem, it can be a factor in deciding whether you might face any legal problems.
If that's not of any concern (for example, when not in a densely populated area within the EU like I am), then the risks should be neglectible.
Therefore, if I were to get any XHTs. I'd choose the CE version and use D16 receivers with that.
But to each his own...
