Legal US Frequencies

[rebrunner]

I am new to FPV. I want to get a 5.8Ghz Rx/Tx. I see a lot of Rx/Tx with selectable channels within the 5.8 band. I was told that in the us there is only one legal chanel/subband and that all Rx/Tx sold in the US have the frequency dip switches preset and sealed. Is this correct?

Most of the channels on 5.8 are legal if you have an amateur radio license. The U.S. amateur radio bands can be found here:
