Are you the proud new owner of a Spektrum transmitter? Congratulations! However, if you landed on this webpage, odds are you researching how to transfer, import, or export models from your old radio to your new one. Or perhaps you are a proactive pilot who simply likes to back-up their models on occasion. Fear not, for the process is relatively easy and quite intuitive if you follow the steps below. We will be using the SD/Micro SD card process for this article but note there are additional methods should you chose to use them.
Important Notes: Be mindful that Spektrum radios import/export models in different file formats depending on the generation of radio.
Some functionality and/or settings may not 100% transfer as desired between radios. Things like timer settings, alerts, and/or model photos are the most obvious. However, be mindful that items that were originally assigned to a two-position switch may need to be checked/corrected if they will now be operated with a three-position switch (an example would be dual-rate becoming triple-rates).
Most importantly, both your new AND old transmitter will require the latest software update to successfully perform any/all model import/export features. We recommend doing this FIRST before proceeding to the steps below.
