I tried the recommended 100hz. Got some data on the sensors, but not consistently. But got sensor lost warnings all the time. External telemetry drops without recovering. Link telemetry from the rp3h remains. Even RxBt from external cable to lipo drops. Now back to f500. No telemetry from the Spirit unit, but do get RxBt from external cable from rp3h to lipo. Sensor keeps dropping occasionally though. Could baud rate have anything to do with this problem?
Spirit must have been aware of this problem for quite some time. Even with 3.7.2, there has been no improvement at all.
There was an improvement at 100Hz/Full, but there is little benefit to using ELRS/CRSF at this resolution.
If you look at it cynically, it may be that they are differentiating it from Spirit wave. Wave achieves the same low latency as ELRS.
I gave up.

This is purely a personal opinion. As a commercial company, vendor lock-in strategies are a necessary evil to some degree to sustain product development.
Spirit is definitely worth the money.
