Yes removing the resistor will make it safe to TX.

Antenna recommendations?

Hey folks, I’m having trouble getting any real range (> 30 feet) out of my t-beams and I’m wondering if the stock antennas are to blame. There are a lot of options between amazon, aliexpress etc, and I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for replacement antennas for the 915mhz band. Even the popular ones on amazon have very mixed reviews, so I’m hoping someone with some actual experience can point me in the right direction.
