There are 4 different "channels", each occupying exactly 1/4 of the 2.4GHz bandwidth. if you turn on all 4 at the same time, each on a different channel, then no RC control system (be it XPS, Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, FrSky, HoTT, Airtronics, JR DMSS, etc. etc) will even connect with a receiver. Effectively, the entire 2.4GHz band will be wiped out. This is why modeling clubs should NEVER allow 2.4GHz video transmitters at their field. 433MHz, 900MHz, 1.2GHz, and 5.8GHz are all fine.
Very good info. Just wondering how prevalent 2.4GHz video transmitters are, especially in the hobby? I ask you, as you seem very knowlagdeble. Thanks in advance for your contribution.
