David and Josh take a moment to cover the basic information for choosing the best frequency and power for your FPV platform.
Three different things you want to think about for your transmitter. Frequency, Legality and the Power Output There are four different frequencies to choose from; 900Ghz, 1.2/1.3Ghz, 2.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz.
Flite Test Author IBCrazy commented with some additional information that we think is worth mentioning in this article.
1. 1.3Ghz has 2 U.S. legal channels: 1280 and 1258MHz
2. There is another frequency available: 2.3GHz which is 2305MHz and 2396MHz which is outside of the WiFi band and is reserved for HAMs only.
3. 5.8Ghz requires circular polarization to work well, none of the other frequencies do.
4. There is also a notch filter for the 1.3GHz band that allows you to use 2.4GHz control. DO NOT attempt to use a 2.4GHz RC link with 1.3GHz video without a filter!
