Need to have high output power, eg 1W. (But no off the shelf RX can support over 250mW telem). Need to determine appropriate power arch and if the current LR221s are good enough.
→ Seems like the current LR221s on the ELRS Redundant Diversity RX has a TX power of 15dBm max for 900 MHz. Is this enough? DEFINITELY NOT, we need something like 27dBm or 30dBm
^But what about this high gain antenna thing?? → I believe its more directional than a normal antenna, but its worth looking into
Solid option: use an RF amplifier - there are plenty of options and this needs a decision matrix
Carefully draft a power architecture. The one in the diagram below is just rough with not much thought yet. Definitely want good isolation where needed, and need to consider power demand
consider dual passband filter of somekind

If this can somehow be implemented, it would be a lot more cheap than a tunable filter (which I would never add because they’re so niche and expensive)
