>10dbi / 12 dbd log periodics for 2.4ghz are available off the shelf [I assume this is actually talking about 12dBi and 10dBd which are equivalent]
combined with this:
>You’d need a 1 watt power amplifier minimum
Is very illegal in the US and probably most other places in the world. There is a hard 1W transmit power limit and a 6dBi antenna gain limit. Fixed point to point links can use higher gain antennas in combination with lower transmit power, but there is no situation in which 1W transmit power + 12dBi gain is legal.
