RadioMaster Bandit BR1 ELRS 915MHz Receiver

The RadioMaster Bandit BR1 is a tiny 900MHz ELRS receiver for long-range FPV quads, wings and other builds where range and penetration matter more than 2.4GHz packet rates. A built-in TCXO keeps the RF frequency stable as temperatures change.

Key features

• ESP8285 MCU with Semtech SX1276 RF chip for low latency and high receive sensitivity on 868/915MHz.
• TCXO oscillator holds frequency accuracy across hot and cold flying conditions.
• 0402 components resist vibration on hard-hitting frames.
• 50 mW (17 dBm) telemetry back to the radio, with CRSF output to the flight controller.
• 2.9 g with the T antenna on an 18 x 13.8 mm board.

Specifications

• Protocol: ELRS, 868/915MHz (FCC915 regulatory domain)
• MCU / RF chip: ESP8285 / SX1276
• Telemetry power: 50 mW (17 dBm)
• Output: CRSF
• Supply: 5 V DC
• Antenna port: IPEX1 (U.FL)
• Antenna: 15 cm 915/868MHz T antenna

• Weight: 2.9 g with T antenna

Pair it with a 900MHz ELRS transmitter module running matching firmware; it will not bind to a 2.4GHz ELRS radio. Wire it to a spare UART on the flight controller and set the receiver protocol to CRSF.
