- Comes with a built-in charging module, LiteRadio 3 supports USB charging which is more convenient to use. Meanwhile, design a low power alert to indicate a low battery. Indicates a low battery and needs to be recharged if the blue light flashes slowly and the buzzer beeps continuously.
- Newly designed with a nano bay, supports external TX module. Highly recommended BETAFPV ELRS Nano Module, which is compatible with the LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter and makes the CRSF protocol available.
- Adopted rubber coating, LiteRadio 3 is ergonomic and shaped like a game controller. It's comfortable to hold and the non-slip texture on the handles allows for a solid grip.

External TX module
By reserving a nano bay on the back, LiteRadio 3 supports an external module. BETAFPV ELRS Nano TX module, which offers high refresh rate, ultra-low latency and long range, is strongly recommended for LiteRadio 3.
Note: External modules should support CRSF protocol when using other brands. If you are ready to install the external TBS nano module, the size of the TBS nano module case should be 64*42*25mm, the thickest one of the retrofit cases.
Improvements on LiteRadio 3
Compared with LiteRadio 2 SE, LiteRadio 3 is equipped with a 2000mAh 1S battery, which offers excellent lasting performance of up to 15 hours of working time without an external module. By reserving a nano bay on the back, it supports an external module for use with ELRS Nano TX Module, which supports the CRSF protocol. Furthermore, LiteRadio 3 gimbal has been recently updated with an accurate potentiometer and adjustable stick tips.
| LiteRadio 3 transmitter | LiteRadio 2 SE transmitter | |
| Built-in battery | 2000mAh 1S battery | 1000mAh 1S battery |
| Gimbal | The latest durable and precise gimbal | December orders are the same as LiteRadio3 |
| Lanyard hook | Support | I don't support |
| BETAFPV configurator | Support | Orders from December support |
| Nano Bay for external module | Support | I don't support |
Note: LiteRadio 2 SE ordered from December supports the BETAFPV configurator. At the same time, LiteRadio 2 SE gimbals are the same as LiteRadio 3 for orders from December. For orders before December, we highly recommend purchasing a new gimbal as an upgrade.
BETAFPV configurator
BETAFPV Configurator is a utility designed to simplify updating, configuring and tuning your radio transmitter.
- Basic configuration of the radio controller, such as mode switch, turning on/off the RF modules.
- Comprehensive features of ExpressLRS configuration, such as outpower, packet rate, etc.
- Channel mixer for fixed-wing drones.
- Firmware update.
DO NOT turn on the transmitter first and connect it to the PC. The USB port is invalid in this situation.
How to change the protocol
Note: Internal protocol switching is only available for Frsky version radio transmitter. The ExpressLRS version can only switch to the external TX module.
To change the protocol and TX module, here are the steps:
- Turn off the radio transmitter;
- Press and hold the BIND button while turning the radio transmitter back on;
- Then the flashing color and times of the LED before the buzzer alarms will change, according to the tables above.
Frsky version could support 4 different internal protocols, including Frsky D16 FCC, Frsky D16 LBT, Frsky D8 and Futaba S-FHSS. The protocol is indicated by the flashing times of the LED when turned on, before the buzzer alarm.
