The reply that you got is yet another example of my mantra that people who know nothing post to forums pretending that they know something.
I have 2 9XRs both running with tankER9X and have sold more 9XRs also with tankER9X on them. There are a plethora of videos on the RCTA youtube channel showing the 9XR in action with tankER9X installed. I am using the 9XR with both on old 9X radio module and the OrangeRX module both running tankER9X.
Hobbyking do now have the 128 processor chip in the 9XR that is correct so all you need to do is tell the 9X editor that you are updating a m128 chip not m64. I flash 9Xs and 9XRs just about every week. If there is an issue I have not found it.
Regardless the ONLY difference between tanER9X and the standard ER9X or for that matter the firmware that comes on the 9XR from Hobbyking is that tankER9X is complied with out the Helicopter menus, has a tank on the splash screen and has the templates edited from ones for planes to ones for tanks. That is it.
So you can burn to your 9XR the standard ER9X firmware if you wish. You will simply then have to create all the mixes for yourself or upload individual model settings.
Finally, although there should not be a problem with Companion9X, the original ER9X editing programmer eePe is the recommended program for use. Why? Because eePe was written by the guy that developed ER9X and is specifically for ER9X. Companion9X is not as closely linked to ER9X as eePe is. Again I have both programs on my computer and I only use eePe.
From this part of your question...
now I have the following software:
SVN: opentx-r 2491
Date: is today
and EEPR: 215-32768
It looks like Companion9X has gone and 'Nope not going to do what you want. I'm going to put my own version of firmware onto your radio instead'. So you have OpenTx on your radio and NOT ER9X
So install eePe and use it rather than Companion9X. Simples
Cheers
