Overview
The Turnigy 9XR-pro is a product co-developed with the people from Hobby King by their semi-related brand 'Turnigy'.
It's sold as a 'pro' version of the 9X-series transmitters as a all-in-one product that includes a famous/popular replacement control-board that was sold at [1].
The replacement board provided extended capabilities over the existing Atmega-based platform by using an ARM-based architecture. This board ended up being the base for the FrSky Taranis and now the 9xr-PRO as well.
