I've converted mine to use the FrSky system. The intriguing bit is here:

In the case of the original Turnigy receivers... apparently you can tap the PPM signals from the bind plug connection and run them straight into either the buddy plug or a USB connector and ultimately, your computer. However, the FrSky receivers do not share the same wiring and there is no output of all the PPM signals on any of the connectors on the FrSky receiver... but I'm sure there's a solder pad inside it that does!
Now, if this appears to be a shameless, on my knees, begging for help request, directed at Bruce..... well, you are probably right. I do have an old Hitachi scope and some feeble knowledge of how to use it, but I'm pretty sure my amateurish fumblings would be a far cry from Bruce's steady hand with DSO probe and a gifted 6th sense of where to look for the little bugger of a signal. Well....... that, and Bruce looks better on Youtube than I would, when it comes to the DIY video!!!
At the moment, I still have one unconverted 9x that I could use for this.... but I also have one of the newer hack modules on it's way for this radio and would like to make the conversion, so I can use both radios on my various bits and pieces of broken balsa and foam, cleverly masquerading as flying (barely) airplane models. Modding one of my FrSky receivers would ultimately be the way to go.
So when you have a moment Bruce...... Bruce..... Bruce?!?!? Why are you walking away?
I'm just kidding...... I'm sure Bruce will be as intrigued as I am if he reads this, AND he finds a rare moment of nothing to do.
