I've found my ELRS link has never come close to losing connection.

This is with the caveat that I'm 1 data point, so it should be considered anecdotal evidence. ELRS as a protocol is capable of extreme long range given the right conditions though.

If you still want to use your spektrum gear, you can get a 4-in-1 external module for the radio. Use ELRS for new stuff going forward, and keep backward compatibility for legacy stuff
