ELRS Receivers

Compare ELRS receivers from Chinese manufacturers by frequency band, antenna setup, output type and size, from nano receivers to PWM and dual-band models.

ELRS receivers only, for ExpressLRS radio links; other RC receiver protocols are on the RC receivers page. Listings run from nano serial receivers for small quads to PWM and dual-band receivers.

Quick selection guide

Small FPV quads

Nano or lite receivers with a serial (CRSF) output to the flight controller and one small antenna.

Longer range

868/915 MHz receivers, or dual-band receivers, matched to a transmitter module on the same band.

Servos without a flight controller

PWM receivers drive servos and ESCs directly, as on many fixed-wing aircraft.

Link redundancy

Antenna diversity uses two antennas on one radio; Gemini uses two radios, on one band or across two. Check which a receiver has.

Dual-band ELRS receivers

View all 10 →

Receivers whose listing states two frequency bands, such as 2.4 GHz plus 915 MHz.

What to check before you buy

Frequency band
Match the receiver to your transmitter module: 2.4 GHz, 868/915 MHz or dual-band. A 2.4 GHz receiver does not bind to a 900 MHz module.
Firmware version
Ask which ExpressLRS version the receiver ships with and confirm it matches the major version on your transmitter.
Antenna setup
Single antenna, antenna diversity or Gemini dual radios; check the antenna connector and where the antennas will sit on your frame.
Output and wiring
Serial (CRSF) to a flight controller UART, or PWM channels for servos; check channel count, supply voltage and pinout.
Telemetry
Check the telemetry output power and whether battery voltage telemetry is built in.
Size and weight
Compare board dimensions and weight with the space in your build.
Radio rules
Ask for the radio test documents your market requires, and check the power allowed on each band.

ELRS receivers FAQ

Will any ELRS receiver work with my ELRS transmitter?

Not automatically. Both need the same frequency band and the same ExpressLRS major firmware version, and the receiver has to be bound to the transmitter.

What is the difference between diversity and Gemini?

A diversity receiver has two antennas and one radio and uses the better antenna. A Gemini receiver has two radios that receive on two frequencies at once, within one band or across two bands; the full benefit needs a Gemini-capable transmitter.

Serial or PWM output?

FPV quads with a flight controller use the serial CRSF output. PWM receivers suit aircraft whose servos and ESCs connect straight to the receiver.
