00:00:00 Is it time to switch to 900 MHz ELRS?
00:01:26 Radiomaster Bandit and Emax Aeris modules
00:02:27 900 MHz also includes 868 MHz
00:03:07 900 MHz has more range and penetration
00:04:55 900 MHz has much bigger antennas
00:07:27 What's a Moxon antenna anyway?
00:08:41 ELRS 900 MHz has higher latency
00:10:41 ELRS Hz is better than CRSF Hz
00:11:58 900 MHz is worse for racing and crowded environments
