It uses the AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System 2nd Generation) protocol with dual 26mm antennas for reliable link quality across a control range of up to 500 metres. Available with the IA6 receiver, the IA6B receiver (standard or retail box packaging), or as a transmitter-only option for buyers who already own a compatible AFHDS 2A receiver.

The IA6B adds iBUS serial output — a single-wire connection that carries all channel data to compatible flight controllers without individual PWM servo cables.
