Those who don’t fly long range could also choose 900MHz over 2.4GHz purely for its better signal penetration and reliability due to the lower frequency. The common frequencies used in FPV drones are 2.4GHz and 900Mhz.Ģ.4GHz is the standard nowadays for radio control thanks to its smaller antenna size and it’s legal to use for hobbyists in most countries.ĩ00MHz is another popular frequency mostly used for long range flying. Now, let’s get down to the technical stuff and learn about radio transmitters. This would be my go-to radio if you are a crossfire user. The Tango 2 is considerably more expensive than other radios, but the build quality is worth it in my opinion. Also the internal RF module is only available in Crossfire, to use ExpressLRS you’d have to use an external module which makes it more expensive and bulkier if you are mainly an ELRS user. One downside of this radio is the lack of 500Hz packet rate support in ExpressLRS. The Pro has foldable sticks which is easy to pack in your bag, the non-pro is $40 cheaper without this feature. ![]() The main difference between the pro and non-pro versions seems to be the sticks. See my full review of the Tango 2 and how it compares to the Frsky X-Lite Pro. It’s primarily designed for multicopters, not idea for wing and plane flyers due to the lack of switches and sliders. However, this requires user DIY to install the module bay add-on. The Tango 2 also support external module (lite module), meaning you can use a multiprotocol module or ExpressLRS module with the Tango 2 so that it can used with practically everything in the hobby. He said they are noticeably smaller than the gimbals on a larger radio like the Taranis X9D. Note: my friend Giovanni who owns the Tango 2 disagrees with TBS’s claim of using full size gimbals in this radio. And it’s made by TBS – the brand you can trust when it comes to quality. It’s compatible with OpenTX and has built-in USB charging. It has built-in 900MHz Crossfire module with a maximum output power of 1W (in the latest version, 250mW in older version). The Tango 2 is a premium radio – it’s compact and portable yet offers exceptional ergonomics, suitable for both “thumbers and pinchers”. The full size hall sensor gimbals gives you full range of stick travel and excellent precision. ![]() ELRS and Multi-protocol built-in module are available that supports almost every protocol in the hobby, and it also fully compatible with Crossfire. It has a traditional layout and form factor, provides great ergonomics and versatility. It was my go-to radio during 2019-2022, and still is an excellent radio. However if you prefer a large colour touch screen, then definitely check out the TX16S. It has a built-in 1W ELRS module, basically everything you’d get on the TX16S without the colour touch screen but in a slightly smaller form factor and much lower price. In my opinion, the best value and most versatile radio right now has to be the Radiomaster Boxer. If you are interested, check out my review of the Jumper T-Lite V2 for more detail. Despite this, battery life can still lasts a long time surprisingly (10+ hours)! That’s partly because the built-in ExpressLRS module is limited to 100mW, which is one of its main downsides, but that’s plenty output power for a couple of kilometres of range. The T-Lite only uses one single 18650 battery, which is why it’s so light. It’s definitely good enough as a beginner radio. It has more than enough switches for most people and it has support for FPV simulators so you can get this to practice flying before even building/buying an FPV drone. The radio build quality overall does feel cheap, but that’s to be expected for a radio at this price point. I always feel like I don’t have as much control precision with the T-lite because of the small, low quality gimbals. Compared to other gamepad style radios, the T-Lite does not have the best ergonomics, especially for pinchers. It’s absolutely tiny and yet it packs with all the features you’d want in a modern radio. I recently went abroad for holiday and I was deciding which radio to take with me, the first radio that came to mind was the Jumper T-Lite V2. Radio Recommendations Cheapest worth havingįor just $60 on AliExpress, the T-Lite V2 it’s probably the cheapest worth having radio: it has an extremely compact form factor, super light weight, comes with the cutting edge EdgeTX and ExpressLRS built-in, it does pretty much everything you want at an unbelievably low price! However, I encourage you to do more research and check out reviews on the radios you like before deciding. Too many choices right? Well, here are my recommendations below. ![]() Here is a list of all the popular radio transmitters on the market currently.
