Description

The RadioMaster Bandit BR3 ExpressLRS receiver leverages the robust 915MHz ISM band to provide extended control range and penetration, making it a primary choice for long-range freestyle and exploration drones. Its high-power telemetry backlink ensures you maintain a strong data connection even at the edge of visual line of sight.

Engineered for reliability, the integrated TCXO counteracts frequency drift caused by temperature fluctuations, a critical feature for maintaining a stable RF link during prolonged flights. The receiver’s construction with miniature 0402 components enhances its resilience against the high-frequency vibrations common in multirotor aircraft.

Key Features

  • High-Power Telemetry: Lua-script adjustable RF power up to 500mW provides a robust telemetry return link for long-range applications.
  • TCXO Stability: Integrated Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator ensures consistent frequency and reduces packet loss.
  • Premium RF Core: Combines the ESP8285 microcontroller with the SX1276 LoRa chip for industry-leading sensitivity, low latency, and interference rejection.
  • Vibration-Resistant Build: Utilization of 0402 surface-mount components increases durability against mechanical stress.
  • Optimized Antenna System: Includes dual T-style antennas for improved signal diversity and stability.
  • Wide Voltage Input: Supports 4.5V to 8.4V DC, compatible with 1S to 2S LiPo direct power or regulated 5V BEC outputs.

Applications

  • Long-range FPV exploration and mapping drones requiring stable control links beyond 10km.
  • Freestyle and cinematic drones where ultra-low latency and high refresh rates are critical for precise control.
  • Fixed-wing UAVs and wings utilizing ExpressLRS for extended flight endurance and range.
  • DIY drone builds requiring a reliable, high-power telemetry receiver compatible with EdgeTX radios and Betaflight/INAV.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum telemetry power output of the Bandit BR3 receiver?

The RadioMaster Bandit BR3 receiver features a Lua-script adjustable telemetry RF power output, with a maximum of 500mW. This high-power setting is designed for long-range applications, providing a strong return link for telemetry data even at extended distances.

How does the built-in TCXO improve receiver performance?

The integrated Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) maintains a highly stable frequency reference regardless of temperature changes during flight. This stability significantly reduces packet loss and frequency drift, ensuring a more reliable and consistent control link, which is crucial for long-range and professional FPV operations.

What flight controllers and radios is this receiver compatible with?

The Bandit BR3 uses the CRSF (Crossfire) serial protocol, making it directly compatible with any flight controller firmware that supports CRSF, such as Betaflight, iNAV, and ArduPilot. It is designed to work with any ExpressLRS-capable radio transmitter, including all RadioMaster, Jumper, and HappyModel radios running EdgeTX or OpenTX with the ExpressLRS Lua script.

What is the operating voltage range for this receiver?

The receiver operates on a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 8.4V DC. This allows it to be powered directly from a 1S or 2S LiPo battery, or from a regulated 5V or 7.4V BEC output on your flight controller or power distribution board, offering flexible integration into various drone power systems.
