BetaFPV’s third-generation LiteRadio 3 comes with two radio options (CC2500/FrSky or SX1280/ELRS) and a Nano TX extension bay. It also adopts a similar gamepad style design as its predecessors.
The BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 is powered by an inbuilt 2000mAh battery that allows about 15 hours of working time. When the battery is near empty a blue LED will flash reminding you that is time for a recharge. By comparison, the older LiteRadio 2 SE has a only 1000mAh battery (~8h working time).
While ELRS’s broadcast power can be toggled between 25mW, 50mW, and 100mW, the Frsky edition has fixed 100mW. Both versions have 8 configurable channels.
BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 core features
- LiteRadio 3 upgrades with BETAFPV self-developed Customized LiteRadio System. Pilots can directly operate the Joystick Calibration and Firmware Update on the radio transmitter, which is more convenient for the beginner racer to operate.
- Equipped with a built-in 2000 mAh 1S battery, LiteRadio 3 can work up to 15 hours without an external module, bringing an excellent endurance performance.
Comes with a built-in charging module, LiteRadio 3 supports USB charging which is more convenient to use. Meanwhile, it designs a Low-Power warning to indicate a low battery. It indicates a low battery and needs to be re-charged if the blue light flashes slowly and the buzzer beeps continuously. - Newly designed with a nano bay, it supports the external TX module. Highly recommend BETAFPV ELRS Nano Module, which is compatible with the LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter and makes CRSF protocol available.
- Adopted the rubber coat, LiteRadio 3 is ergonomic and has the shape of a gaming controller. It’s comfortable to hold, and the anti-slip texture on the handles allows for a solid grip.
- It is the safest and quickest method to get started by using a model practice simulator for starters. LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter supports most of the simulators on market with comprehensive configuration.
