Here is the link with instructions for install: Team BlackSheep TBS Tango 2 Module Bay Add-On - https://helination.ositracker.com/198604/8932/url_19180 Looks like there is now a TBS TANGO 2 V3 RC RADIO Mode 2. Read online that "Due to an EOL of a major component used in the Micro TX V1, TBS started using a new internal MicroTX V2 internals." Here are the links: * TBS Tango 2 v3 Pro - https://helination.ositracker.com/198604/8932/url_19179 * TBS Tango 2 v3 - https://helination.ositracker.com/198604/8932/url_19178 ================================================== UPDATE #1 [02 July 2020] Heli-Nation has the TBS Tango 2 Pro v2 in stock (links below)! * TBS Tango 2 Pro v2 - https://helination.ositracker.com/161799/8932/url_14746 * TBS Tango 2 v2 - https://helination.ositracker.com/161799/8932/url_14747 Heli-Nation confirmed all their TBS Tango controllers are version 2! So I ordered the Pro with free shipping. They are in Illinois, USA so it should be quicker than waiting for international shipping for me. FULL DISCLOSURE - I just joined their Referral Program so I will benefit when you purchase using the links above. TBS was kind enough to cancel my existing order with a full refund (great service!). ===============ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION=============== The folks at Team Blacksheep revealed it in their TBS Couch live stream on June 2, 2020 (link below). It looks like a small ribbon cable connector. But what it allow you to connect to the board ... They would not say. Some of the hints from the live stream: 1. It is NOT something that was promised as a feature of the Tango 2 version 1. This is a brand new feature and something they specifically said the v1 doesn't have in the Feb 2, 2020 livestream debut of v1. 2. You can upgrade the v1 for this feature, if you want it, but it will not be free. 3. It's not ready yet, which is why they're not announcing it 4. It is a feature people who bought the v1 it didn't want or need so they bought regardless. 5. People not buying v1, cited this as one of the reasons for not buying it. 6. They included this new PCB a few weeks before the livestream and waited until someone noticed it before having the livestream. 7. It's obvious what it does - Well, obvious to them and probably others in the FPV game but to a newbie like me, I had no idea. But I did some digging to find out. I've taken those hints and pieced together info from other sources to try to figure out what this new connector in VERSION 2 of this popular radio transmitter can do. I also reached out to an expert in this field, Joshua Bardwell, who was kind enough to respond with his educated guess. Let me know in the comments if you agree with my guess or if you have a better idea. ================================================================== ATTRIBUTION Team BlackSheep.
