TX16S MK II and the damn microSD slot

by

My TX16S MKII finally arrived, and this thing is huge! Build quality is pretty damn good, I got the cheapest plastic version but the thing still feels solid.

One major issue I had was that the microSD slot is not properly flushed nor guided, the soldered SD slot is actually much deeper and smaller than the hole cutout, so if you are not careful your tiny microSD will just fall INTO the radio. The only way to get it out is either fish it out from the RTC battery hole(I don’t think its worth trying, but its possible) or removing the 4x 2mm hex bolt from the rear corners and the 2x 2.5mm hex bolt on the antenna top plate.

I will not bother with the screen protector, the entire display module (touch + screen) is only $35.
