You need only one module on the trainer sender and one stereo cable between the trainer sender and the buddy box

You don't need a transmission module in the buddy box (I just did a quick test with my buddybox loaded with the OpenTX firmware just to make sure). However, if you don't have at least a dummy cover instead of the module, you may accidentally bend one of the pins on the back of the radio.

You need 3 things:
- 9XR Pro
- FrSky Module (with telemetry connector)
- Special cable to connect the telemetry module output to the radio. (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__58503__Frsky_Telemetry_Head_Track_Module_Extent_ Cable_for_9XR_Pro.html)

Marc (bluebird_ca) had a 9XR PRO working with OpenTX and audible telemetry alerts. You need to copy the required voice files to the sd card. However, as i recall, the speaker volume was very low on the 9XR Pro as compared to the Taranis. I think he connected an external amplified speaker to correct the problem.
