RadioLink R16SM 16 Channels Receiver with SBUS/CRSF and Built-in Telemetry

Overview

The RadioLink R16SM is a lightweight and compact 16-channel 2.4GHz receiver designed for drones, fixed-wings, cars, boats, and robotics. Supporting both SBUS and CRSF signal outputs, it features real-time telemetry, wide 3–12V input voltage, and a control range of up to 3000 meters. With a weight of just 1.5g and high signal precision, the R16SM is ideal for racing drones and applications requiring minimal space and maximum performance.

Key Features

• Dual Signal Output Modes (SBUS & CRSF)
  Switch between SBUS (red LED) and CRSF (blue LED) modes depending on your connection port (RC IN or TELEM1/TELEM2). No firmware flashing required.

• Built-in Real-time Telemetry
  Supports transmission of GPS longitude/latitude, speed, heading, pitch, roll, yaw, voltage, current, battery capacity and flight mode—displayed directly on a compatible transmitter when paired with a flight controller.
  Note: SBUS mode supports basic telemetry; CRSF mode supports full telemetry.

• Compact and Ultra-light Design
  At just 22 × 11.3 × 6mm and 1.5g, it's perfect for mini quads, cinewhoops, and compact RC platforms.

• 3–12V Wide Voltage Input
  Compatible with all mainstream flight controllers without the need for voltage regulators.

• Long-Range FHSS Communication
  Equipped with FHSS spread spectrum and 67 pseudo-random frequency hopping channels, it ensures robust anti-interference communication up to 3000 meters in the air.

• Voice Broadcast with T16D
  When paired with RadioLink T16D, flight status and telemetry can be broadcast in real-time for safer and more responsive long-range control.

• Multiple Transmitter Compatibility
  Works with RadioLink’s latest T-series aircraft transmitters and all RC surface transmitters including RC8X, RC6GS V3, and RC4GS V3.

Details

RadioLink R16SM: 16-channel receiver, 2.4GHz FHSS, 3000m range, SBUS/CRSF output, built-in telemetry, -30°C to 85°C operation, compatible with T16D, T12D, T8FB, T8S, RC8X transmitters.

RadioLink R16SM 16 Channels Receiver with real-time built-in telemetry. Supports SBUS/CRSF protocols. Features blue LED for CRSF, red LED for SBUS. Operates on 3-12V/DC. Made in China, CE and RoHS certified.

Cutting-edge Communication Technology. 3000 Meters Control Distance. FHSS spread spectrum and 67-channel pseudo-random frequency hopping ensure excellent anti-interference performance for multiplayer synchronization. R16SM actual control distance is 3000 meters.

Real-time Built-In Telemetry transmits RSSI, battery voltage, GPS data, and flight parameters. SBUS mode limits data; CRSF is recommended. R16SM cannot transmit receiver voltage due to protocol constraints.

RadioLink R16SM supports CRSF and SBUS signals. CRSF mode uses a blue LED, connecting to TELEM ports. SBUS mode uses a red LED, linking RC IN and TELEM ports for versatile model applications.

R16SM receiver supports 3-12V input, 16 channels output, compatible with all flight controllers. Flight Controller connects to R16SM Receiver.

Voice Broadcast Customization. When working with the RadioLink 16-channel remote control T16D, it broadcasts current flight mode, signal strength, power battery voltage, and other real-time information. Customize voice broadcast content and format for required info during long-distance voyages and racing, ensuring timely and safe return home. Manual Mode is highlighted, indicating customizable settings for enhanced user experience and control precision.

R16SM receiver supports RadioLink T-series aircraft transmitters (T16D, T12D, T8FB, T8S) and surface transmitters (RC8X, RC6GS V3, RC4GS V3). Compatible with old versions like RC6GS V2 and OTG T8FB.
