No. It is for two-way modules only.

I understand that you can upgrade the transmitter module too, Since the module has that option. I think it's good to update them both.

No this was to use to update the old D8R which was running the old software . The D8R II has the upto date software already installed so theres no need to update at the moment

You can upgrade your FrSky receivers with it plus a FrSky serial/USB cable. See on files section the "How-to for V2 upgrade".

Hello gsantos, This item is used to connect the receiver to USB instead of rs232. You'll have to buy the usb cable too.

Is this an upgrade for my non-telemetry receiver in the aircraft or the non-telemetry module in my radio ?

No it's a way to connect a Telemetry receiver to a computer, is just an adapter to help you to connect the RS232 of your receiver directly to an USB in your computer. With some reading you can figure what king of data you can collect and use in your laptop. Of corse, you'll need to develop a software to your laptop. I use the Mathlab to read data from the virtual COM port and show it where I need.

This interface is used if you want to upgrade the firmware on your D82 receiver to the current version 2, one end plugs into the receiver and the other into your PC via either a serial cable or frsky usb cable, ie. www.link Frsky V2 upgrade manual with full details is at: www.link

Note warning from frsky Note: 2) As firmware upgrade requires case’s removal of D8R receiver, FrSky will not support warrantee replacement if damage occurs. 3) Dealers will be provided with FrSky upgrade lite to carry out firmware upgrade for customers, however FrSky can not guarantee the dealers’ service will be free of charge. Contact your dealer for information. No big deal just be careful make sure computer is pluged into the mains power.
