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.

I've been using the Lite radio 3 Pro on 6 different quads, 5 inch, toothpick, and whoops, (also PC for simulators). The battery life is very good. The menus are simple and easy to navigate. The OLED screen is very bright and easy to read even outdoors. The Hall gimbals are just what you would expect, very smooth and precise. The radio is also easy to update through the ExpressLRS Configurator. ExpressLRS binds and stays connected, I've had zero failsafe's even while flying at 100mw. Things that could improve? The speaker volume is weak, if you leave the radio sitting for a few minutes a woman's voice will start reminding you of something, however I'm uncertain exactly what she's is saying? Aside from that, the lanyard balance is off, but due to the size of this radio a lanyard isn't really all that necessary anyway.
Received this radio,build construction feels great,gimbal are big step up from the other betafpv radios,the screen is small but with very good quality and can be read with direct sunlight...the best radio from betafpv,just looking to proper support from edge tx team and express elrs devs.
