This is a list of the most commonly used channels and frequencies for video transmitters and receivers. I got tired of constantly trying to find what channel was what frequency. So I made this list and now I'm sharing it.

I will continue to update it as things change.

These frequencies are commonly used in FPV applications.

This topic might leave complete beginners confused, but the article describes it pretty well.

If buying separate Tx/Rx, check this table for reference to see if they have compatible frequencies.

So does 5.8 GHz work like 2.4 GHz with frequency hopping??

HK need to put a link to here. This info is NOT easy to come by. Immense thanks for publishing this. A lot of people will now go forth and solder up fancy antennas using Dave's calculators and these frequencies.

I'm a disable VET, I just ordered a 1.3 Custom FPV Starter Package: 1258/1280MHz US Version from ready made rc, set up for my FPV airplane and I under stand you can have problems with your radio 2.4 after about one mile, what can I do to stop this before it happens to me and I lose a plane? can you please help me out? soldier.1953@yahoo.com thank you, I'm thinking about start a program for VET's to get them in to FPV RC when they get home and for the one's that are here all ready, but I have to get it right before I can tell them what to buy and how to use what they have.

Thanks for the list Chad. I like it. For the beginners it might be a good idea to have some debugging info etc listed in this post as well. For instance for the 5.8GHz I know setting all switches up at one side and down at the other side gives you a pair of matching channels. A common rookie mistake is to complain about reception and then to find out they were just not on the right same channel. Having a nearby channel can be enough to get a (lossy) signal.

These systems don't frequency hop at all. Keep that in mind if there are others flying fpv with you

Chad something else I just think about that might complete this article. The band A, E, and B for the frequency bands of 5.8GHz transmitters is not listed. I just posted an article myself with a picture of the bands.
