Doesn't LoRa have a pretty constrained duty cycle? I read the regs on LoRa (for the US at least) and found that you're required to limit transmission frequency to 1% (36s/h). I'm guessing you'd have to go well past that to operate an RC aircraft in the conventional manner. If you're just commanding waypoints I suppose you could be compliant.
- FrankPetrilli 3y agoLoRa is just a protocol, there are no rules inherent to the protocol itself. Certain LoRaWAN networks have rules around how often you can send messages through them, but RC links don't use LoRaWAN.

- AdamH12113 3y agoIIRC the 1% duty cycle is an EU restriction. The US 915 MHz band has a 400 millisecond dwell time restriction instead.
- Gibbon1 3y agoI think if you go to 500khz you can transmit all you want. It's only 125khz that has that limit.
