Notice Title
With a cc2500, you’d be able to connect to a limited number of rc receivers – specifically ones made by (Frsky, S-FHSS, Radiolink, Graupner HoTT, Corona, and Hitec).
The “4 in 1 chip” does handle more protocols than the CC2500. It has the CC2500, nRF24L01, A7105 and CYR all integrated in one package and allows you to bind with and use Flysky, Spektrum, HUBSAN, DSM2, DEVO, J6PRO, ESKY, HISKY, KN, V2X2 and ASSAN receivers which you won’t be able to do with just the CC2500.
