  1. Hi Jeff I wouldn't worry too much about using the LemonRx modules with DSM2, but if you're worried with the low cost of LemonRx DSMP receivers, just buy a few. The legality of using a LemonRx module with a DSM2 receiver is no different to using an OrangeRx DSM2/DSMX module with a DSM2 receiver is a grey area and I've previously checked with the BMFA that it wouldn't invalidate my BMFA insurance, which it wouldn't. And I don't think you need worry about OFCOM. DSM2 is obviously a very old protocol and there are better protocols now in use (all the FHSS protocols are technically superior), but many of us still happily fly on 35MHz where there is only one frequency channel with no redundancy whereas DSM2 uses 2 bands that are both spread spectrum, so it's still fairly resilient and in the real world I've had 1000s of interference free flights with DSM2, as have 1000s of others. Most who have had problems could probably trace them to poor installation, a poor battery/inadequate ESC BEC or cheap fake Spektrum receivers bought on eBay or similar. Which is why I prefer using a LemonRx receiver over a Spektrum labelled receiver, at least with a LemonRx you know you're getting a genuine receiver, but unless you buy your Spektrum receiver from your LMS, you never know if it's genuine or a fake. Finally I'd imagine that LemonRx will launch a CE compliant module, they've launched the modules with FCC certification, as the USA is their largest market, but traditionally they do listen to customers and making them CE compliant just requires them to disable DSM2, the FCC test house have already done all the other relevant tests needed for CE while doing the FCC certification. If you an techno-junkie like me, you can read the LemonRx FCC test report (or Spektrum, Futaba, FrSky, JETI etc) on the FCC website: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2ATBKDSMPSDR Cheers Mike
