    5.8 is legal in most countries, the power output can vary considerably.

    All Legal.

    Wifi use frequency in the ranges: 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5 GHz,

    Countries apply their own regulations to both the allowable channels, allowed users and maximum power levels within these frequency ranges. Network operators should consult their local authorities as these regulations may be out of date as they are subject to change at any time.

    European standard EN 301 893 covers 5.15-5.725 GHz operation, and v1.7.1 is in force.

    In 2007 the FCC (United States) began requiring that devices operating on 5.250–5.350 GHz and 5.470–5.725 GHz must employ dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power control (TPC) capabilities. This is to avoid interference with weather-radar and military applications.[17] In 2010, the FCC further clarified the use of channels in the 5.470–5.725 GHz band to avoid interference with Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems.[18] This statement eliminated the use of channels 120, 124, and 128. Channels 116 and 132 may be used, so long as they are separated by more than 30 MHz (center-to-center) from a TDWR located within 35 km of the device. There are now at least five relevant KDBs about operation in 5 GHz radar bands.

    i think that the most interesting part of this is whether or not the "5.8ghz Downlink" is the first commercially available FPV transmitter unit to be available to the public.. am I correct in saying that? It appears to have a range of 300-400 ft?
