These radios are perfect for full submerged operation of your RC submarine. You get all the benefits of one of the most modern radio system on the market, rock-solid reliability, real-time feedback of signal strength to the receiver and much more.
Price is for transmitter only. The TD R10 receiver is a perfect match for this unit.
The Tandem X18 series dual-band telemetry radios benefit from an enhanced ergonomic design with rounded and more comfortable hand grips, along with an improved case design to make the radio fully stable when standing. The radio includes easy-to-reach sliders and switches, 4 standard stick trims with additional 2 extra trims added to provide more flexibility with attitude adjustments while operating the radio. The X18 series include further enhancements with integrated flash storage which improves and simplifies storage operation and use, and the interior of the radio has been designed with space and weight in mind, while still keeping all ETHOS setting and control features for the skipper to enjoy.
