2) Telemetry is great to reduce risk(think about alarms for flameout, low fuel, low air pressure, Airspeed callouts, etc), if you are inclined to learn how to set it up, or have a friend who can do it for you. I have setup many for my friends and they are very happy to have it, even though they could not program them.

With point #1, many of the closed systems radio systems are out for me.
If you want telemetry, is either Jeti or maybe Graupner. Later on Powerbox Core will be an option. Others may have some level of it, but seem to be quite limited.

If you don't care about #1 or #2, then almost any modern radio will do as long as it have enough channels.

Good luck
