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.



900 MHz - 1300 MHz Receiver (RX)
CH 0 - 910 MHz
CH 1 - 980 MHz
CH 2 - 1010 MHz
CH 3 - 1040 MHz
CH 4 - 1080 MHz
CH 5 - 1120 MHz
CH 6 - 1160 MHz
CH 7 - 1200 MHz
CH 8 - 1240 MHz
CH 9 - 1280 MHz
CH H - 1320 MHz
CH C - 1360 MHz



Racewood / Hobby King TX
CH 1 - 910 MHz (USA Legal)
CH 2 - 980 MHz
CH 3 - 1010 MHz
CH 4 - 1040 MHz

Racewood TX
CH 1 - 1240 MHz
CH 2 - 1280 MHz
CH 3 - 1320 MHz
CH 4 - 1360 MHz

Lawmate TX

CH 1 - 1080 MHz
CH 2 - 1120 MHz

CH 8 - 1280 MHz

Other TX:
CH 1 - 2410 MHz
CH 2 - 2430 MHz
CH 3 - 2450 MHz
CH 4 - 2470 MHz

Lawmate TX:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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