Details

A compact RadioMaster XR3 Nano ExpressLRS receiver combines multi-frequency support with true antenna diversity for dependable control links.

Onboard LNA/PA design helps boost sensitivity while supporting higher-power telemetry for demanding flight environments.

Choose 2.4GHz, 900MHz, or a dual-band T-antenna package to match your build and region requirements.

Built on the Semtech LR1121 transceiver, the XR3 platform supports operation on 2.4GHz or Sub-G 900MHz bands.

Extra TX2/RX2 pads provide an additional UART for future expansion while keeping primary RX/TX/5V pads easy to access.





The ultra-light receiver weight helps keep small FPV builds efficient without sacrificing link features.
