Crossfire / Tracer (Combined) Firmware

V6.42 (Beta) [2024-11-05]

• VTX telemetry fix (better support VRX follows VTX feature)
• Add vtx band number in Agent menu
• Video TX menu on TX now contains only channel number without frequency (to support VTX with any frequency)
• LoRace band in VTX frequency table in ascending order (ch1 = 5362, ch8 = 5621)
• Ch5 + Ch6 are usable again on sixty9 which have it
• Removed DSMX support
• Fix Tango2 binding bug when it stays in binding after successful binding
• Fix bug when nanoRX v3 doesn’t receive telemetry from some FC
• Fix PWM on FailSafe cut mode for nanoRX v3
