Your transmitter hardware is telemetry enabled, or you have done the required mods. Check the table above. + ##Optional Telemetry mod for 9X/R TH9X transmitters The telemetry mod for these transmitters has evolved. The original and popular "FrSky Telemetry Mod" requires 2 pins on the transmitter module board to be modified (RX on pin 5 and TX on pin 2). All the recent MULTI-Module hardware options supports serial transmission on pin 1 (the same pin as the PPM signal) so, in this case, only the mod on pin 5 is required.
