I have Futaba, Flysky, Spektrum and FrSky systems. I have found that FrSky's X20 series systems give every possible control option
I have ever wanted or wished for. (No, I'm not a FrSky employee...). Their ETHOS OS that powers their system really is top notch
and only get better- once their PC application is given the ability to fully manage model profiles it will have everything. My only reason
for wanting a PC app (similar to what OpenTx/EdgeTx uses) is I'm clumsy with a touch screen and I like being able to have multiple
windows of data available to reference.

I'm presently using one of my X20 series systems to control two Armortek models- the King Tiger and M2 halftrack and the only reason
all of them aren't on it is pure laziness. I am using an older FrSky system to control my Sd. Kfz. 7.

Sometimes it is confusing to see FrSky and FlySky in close proximity but they are 2 separate brands.

I have had zero issues with FrSky so far and the two momentary switch buttons on the back of the transmitter are just perfect for sound selection.
alternatively with clever mixing one can 'divide' one of the pots into 12 'pieces' to index right into the sounds array and use a monetary button to select it. You can also use the assigned control to trigger a disply that gives a list of sounds/positions to choose from so you don't have to rely on memory.

Fleibility- 'priceless'!

Have a Frsky X18se. I have been interested in setting up sound retrieval much as you have described.If you have the time I would be forever thankful about how you went about it.

Hi, turns out I need to replace my very ancient Futaba T7CP 40mhz as the receiver is stuffed, and I cant find a replacement. Can any one recommend a new radio set that will work with Armoteks controller please. I am not tech minded, so simpler the better!

Thanks

Hello Colin,
I recently bought this, and works well.
FrSky TARANIS X9D Plus 2019 Transmitter & FrSKY RX8R PRO 16CH Receiver
Flashed with FRSKY Firmware: EU-LBT ACCST V2.1.
Transmitter comes without a battery so one of these as well, GNB 2500mAh 2S 5C LiPo Battery.

Ok, thanks for that. I will look into it.

Thinking of upgrading my transmitter. Does anyone currently use the Spektrum NX8 or NX10 Transmitters?
