iX20 SE Special Edition 20-Channel Smart Transmitter

• Adjustable stick length and tension
• Easy-grip slide levers with firm-center detent plus spring tension adjustment accessible from the front of the transmitter
• Contoured, non-slip rubber grips

• User-adjustable mode configurations (1, 2, 3 or 4)
• User-adjustable switch assignments with touch sensing
• Pushbutton power switch with sleep mode

An aluminium dual transmitter case is included with the iX20 Special Edition for transporting it safely and in style — perfect whether you're going to the local field for the day or to compete in international contests with the world's top pilots!

The giant 5-inch, full-color, easy-to-read touchscreen interface cold-boots (from off) in less than 30 seconds and wakes from sleep 1 second or less. Its processing speed is approximately 250% faster than that of the iX12. The stateof-the-art touchscreen technology provides information in crisp, clear detail and allows you to make precise changes quickly and easily. You literally “tap” into the iX20’s programming, and model setting changes take effect instantly. Because this is a fully functional Android interface, it will work with an evolving list of apps from the Google Play store.

The iX20SE will included the updated Spektrum Airware software featuring User Interface updates, new features and improvements:

• Updated Smart Telemetry Dashboard with real-time graphing
• Preset BNF Model Templates for popular Bind-N-Fly Aircraft
• High Contrast Dark Mode for a high visibility interface

When connected to Wi-Fi, the iX20 transmitter gets even smarter. Spektrum^™ AirWare^™ Touch app update alerts are automatic, plus you can download model setups and add third-party apps. The iX20 can connect with just about any Bluetooth device. This means you can use wireless earbuds or even your phone’s earpiece for voice alerts. Music, voice alerts and more are heard privately with outstanding clarity. A micro USB port allows you to charge the internal Li-Ion battery with an ordinary USB-to-Micro USB cable. It can also be used to connect flight controllers, recognize accessory devices and provide a convenient link to your PC or laptop.

The iX20 is the ultimate tool for making sure your prized aircraft and equipment stay in perfect condition. It offers built-in telemetry compatibility that can give you real-time information on critical data like battery voltage, motor temperature and more. The transmitter is compatible with installations using telemetry-enabled receivers and sensors, and it supports those using the innovative, all-in-one telemetry of Spektrum^™ Smart Batteries, ESCs and receivers with multiple screens and warnings.

The iX20 takes raw, real-time telemetry data and makes it far easier to view graphically with gauges that put vital information into a context that’s clear and precise. Using the voice alert system, you can program the iX20 to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch.

Customizable telemetry dashboard pages and custom gauge panels allow you to set what data you want to see and organize it as you choose, with adjustable cell sizing and auto text-size adjustment.

Just talk to the iX20 and it will listen. New speech-to-text functionality, made possible by Android, allows you to access and setup custom telemetry warnings, reports and more through its voice recognition software.

Keep tabs on important information without ever taking your eyes off what you are flying. The iX20 programmable voice alert system can call out what flight mode you have chosen or report telemetry info automatically or on demand. If an alarm goes off, you won't have to look at the display to see what’s happening. The iX20 can tell you. Create any voice alert by just typing in the words.

In addition to a built-in speaker, the iX20 has a headphone jack that allows you to monitor voice alerts using earbuds so you don’t bother other pilots. You can also use Bluetooth to connect with wireless earbuds or your phone’s ear piece.

The iX20 has the most program mixes ever offered in a Spektrum radio. In each mix, a curve is available for each position. For example, if you assign a mix to flight modes, you may have up to 10 flight modes; you’ll also have up to ten different curves for total flexibility. Having a curve for every position provides much more flexibility and power for complex mixing, and can reduce the number of program mixes it takes to achieve a desired setup.

Forward Programming is a Spektrum technology that enables you to configure smart receivers and related products wirelessly and directly from the transmitter. It’s simple. Forward Programming uses the existing bi-directional communication link between a transmitter and receiver to do the same sophisticated programming that once required a cable, Bluetooth dongle, PC or a mobile phone. Plus, Forward Programming uses intuitive Spektrum AirWare^™ firmware language so it’s simple to use.

Easily fine tune programmed features while flying without awkwardly having to access a specific menu or land just to tweak an adjustment. On-The-Fly (OTF) lets you adjust mixes and other programmed values conveniently “on the fly” by simply using one of the four auxiliary trim controls (not the primary trim controls) you select.

Turn timers on or off, or activate programmed voice alerts with just your touch. An industry first, the iX20 uses capacitive-touch technology so that any of the ten toggle switches, the I-switch button, or gimbal sticks react to the soft touch of a finger and without interrupting the programmed mechanical movements also assigned.

The iX20’s enormous internal memory – large enough to hold 250 models – means you’ll rarely, if ever, need to juggle models between the transmitter memory and SD card or Bluetooth memory devices. Nevertheless, transferring model programs is simple and seamless with the iX20 and other Spektrum brand radios. You can easily share models between “G2” systems and iX-series radios via SD card or Bluetooth. Note: The iX20 can import SPM and iSPM file types, but can export only iSPM type files.

Having multiple antennas built-in assures RF performance regardless of how the iX20 transmitter is oriented while you fly. In addition to the visible antenna, another is designed into the transmitter handle. It's a proven effective system that enhances signal reception while reducing polarization

A camera is built into the iX20 transmitter and can be used to take still photos and videos. The lens is located in the rear center of the transmitter. It’s easy to capture images of your own aircraft and add them to the Model Details menu.

For existing iX20 owners, Spektrum will offer the option to upgrade stock iX20 gimbals to iX20SE machined aluminium gimbals. This upgrade will be installed on transmitters by an authorized Spektrum Service Center. The cost for this upgrade will be $499.99 (US). This upgrade includes a pre-paid shipping label to send the iX20 to the nearest service center, the cost of the parts and service, and the shipping back to the owner. Check back after July 2021 for more information on this offer.

Please note the aluminium gimbals will not be sold separately and this offer is subject to change.
