You made a good point about the Taranis that I didn't know it. And about the TX16S in which aspects it is better than T8GS Plus?

Flyback FPV
<p>I'm looking for a nice budget radio transmitter to start in the hooby and stay with it for some good time. I'm found these three good options but I'm tottaly newbie so I don't know the pros and cons of each one</p>
<p>I would like some radio that could make at lease abou 1-2 Km with no mods by default. And the most versatile about receivers.
I read the T8GS supports almost all protocols and it leads at this specification, but whay about the other ones?</p>

With the TX16S you can use almost all receivers that are on the market.

Whatever radio you pick eventually, just make sure it runs openTX. Almost all instruction videos you will find online are based on openTX.
