EdgeTX Official Supported
LiteRadio 3 Pro Radio Transmitter—An open-source radio remote control that supports the EdgeTX system, which is an open-source firmware for RC radio transmitters. The firmware is highly configurable and brings much more features than traditional radios. Therefore, you can try your best to customize LiteRadio 3 Pro such as language, voice and etc with the EdgeTX system.
Note: Please click here to know more about EdgeTX operating system.
OLED Display Screen
OLED display screen with two 5D buttons is newly added to LiteRadio 3 Pro radio transmitter. Users can adjust the TX settings such as switching internal/external modules, gimbal calibration and binding on the screen by controlling 5D buttons. Compared with LiteRadio 3, it is easier to adjust such settings and very friendly to a new player.
EdgeTX Passthrough for ELRS Upgrade
With EdgeTX operating system, flashing ExpressLRS internal TX modules is easier for everyone. First, there is no need to disassemble the case. Compared with upgrading by WIFI, it is more convenient, fast, and stable to flash ELRS internal TX firmware by using EdgeTX passthrough flashing.
Note: Please click here to know the upgrading steps. The passthrough is only used for ELRS 2.4G version. Currently, BETAFPV is actively communicating with the ExpressLRS official team on the latest ExpressLRS configurator to support flashing LiteRadio 3 Pro ELRS TX firmware.
External TX Module
Nano module bay enables the external TX module available. LiteRadio 3 Pro reaches a high level with its capability to support multi-brand external TX modules in the market for different protocols such as MULTI, CRSF, PPM, XJT, DSM2, and R9M, etc. BETAFPV ELRS Nano TX Module, which features a high refresh rate, ultra-low latency, and long-range, is strongly recommended for LiteRadio 3 Pro.
Note: If you are ready to install the TBS external nano module, the TBS nano module case size should be 64*42*25mm, the thicker one of the retrofit cases.
Hall Gimbal
Features four precision bearings, adjustable spring tension, and ergonomic stick ends for an unparalleled feel. With an adjustable stick end, it perfectly fits thumbs and greatly improves the stick feel for the control. Hall Effect provides contactless sensing for not only accurate control inputs and precise centering but also durable use.

So user friendly.
I have used it for about a year now and I didn’t even have any problems with it. it’s bulletproof. very nice features. the hallefect gimbals are very nice 😊
I buy this radio exactly one year ago, and i loved it. I will do a list of goods and bads things :
goods things :
- verry verry durable, you will never break it.
- halls sticks are verry precise and it feel like there are made in metal.
- the best form factor, you have a small controller that perfectly hold in hands
- i like the 2 positions switch a lot, if you press them just a little there are like momentaneous switch
- batterie life is about 4 to 5 hours of flight with elrs at 250mw
- gimball trim is eazy to do and you dont change trims by error
bad things :
- a little wire of an hall sensor broke after 8 months of use, verry eazy to repair with a solder iron and it didnt broke any other time, but i imagine if it was broke during a flight...
- little joysticks that are used to navigate in the menu are not as solid as the rest, the little top broke, still usable, but sad.
- thoses 3 positions buttons are not as good as the 2 positions one, i would like 2 potentiometers and 4 2 positions buttons
- sound is not audible, this doesnt matter becose you have an osd, but you know, it can be usefull...
I didn't use a cover for the row and it fell several times.
As comparative, my taranis x9d se plus 2019 fell one time and 2 buttons broke. I left the taranis charging for a night, and it doesnt boot, the x9d survived 1 month and the lightradio 3 pro is still alive.
This radio is PERFECT for tinywhooper, and do the job for big drone pilots
I'm new to this hobby. It took me a little bit to figure out how to flash firmware and install Lua script. But once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad.
Not my first BetaFPV radio, I liked my previous one, so I figured the screen will be even better.
Very happy with the cc2500 model, so I can use a higher power ELRS module.
Only issue was that I noticed this had some flickering with BetaFPV ELRS module. Will continue testing, but overall very happy so far.
