I have one of my Raptors set up with AR9020 and Spirit Pro. I see no signs of ill behavior, but reading through the documentation for the new AR7700 makes me a bit worried. I find the information below on a FAQ sheet for the AR7700.

Quote:
Q – I have used SRXL with the AR9020 and AR12020, and AR12120, are these same as the SRXL on the AR7700?

A – It is very similar, but not the same: The SRXL featured in the X Plus receivers (AR9020, AR12020 and AR12120) do not have the ability to ensure proper timing for the channel outputs. Note that this is not a problem when used as intended with the X Plus module, but it could cause problems if trying to use the SRXL output to control a flight controller. Also, the AR7700 is backwards compatible with the X Plus module if you wish to have additional servo outputs, but it has the check built into the code to ensure proper timing with flight controllers.


Link to the FAQ sheet

What does this actually mean? Is the use of SRXL through the AR9020 a disaster waiting to happened? :|

I can't tell you if it is safe, but I can tell you that the protocol itself is reliable similarly as Spektrum DSM2/X.
If there is something wrong, then it is caused only by AR9020 itself. But nobody reported any problem.

Ok. It has worked as expected so far, but I got a little worried when I read FAQ. I'm considering getting the new AR7700 just to have piece of mind.

Is the AR7700s SRXL-bus compatible with the Spirit?

Right now we are testing AR7700 with SRXL.
