Aomway VTX Frequency Ranges and Channel Counts
Documented frequency coverage
| Product | Frequency range | Channels | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aomway 10W VTX 5.8G | 4.9 – 6.2 GHz | 88CH | Full custom frequency support, no development fees |
| Aomway 4W VTX 5.8G | 4.9 – 6.2 GHz | 88CH | Full custom frequency support, no development fees |
| Aomway 1W VTX 5.8G | 5.8 GHz band | 48CH | Classic 5.8 GHz band, all standard channels |
| Aomway 7–8.8G VRX | 7 – 8.8 GHz | 88CH | −98 dBm sensitivity, automatic frequency scan |
| Aomway wideband VTX | 1 – 9 GHz | 8001CH | Single module spanning the whole 1-9 GHz range |
| Apexlink Pro | 4.2 – 6.9 GHz | up to 128 | OFDM + MIMO, automatic frequency hopping |
| Apexlink Lite | 4.9 – 5.9 GHz | up to 48 | OFDM + MIMO, automatic frequency hopping |
The 4.9–6.2 GHz window on the 4W and 10W transmitters is wider than the conventional 5.8 GHz band. It reaches down into the 4.9 GHz region and up past 6 GHz, which matters in congested environments where the standard 5.8 GHz channels are already occupied.
Why 88 channels instead of 48
A 48-channel transmitter can only select from the standard band plan. An 88-channel unit can be tuned across the whole 4.9–6.2 GHz span, so when an event site is saturated you have somewhere to go. The 88CH models also support full custom frequency requests with no development fee, which is the option commercial operators use when they need a specific operating frequency for a licensed deployment.
Band plan reference table
Awaiting source data: the per-band MHz table (Band A / B / E / F / R and Raceband, each with its eight frequencies). This is the single most-searched document on the site and needs to come from the official Aomway frequency chart rather than being reconstructed — this will be filled from official Aomway engineering documentation.
Choosing a frequency for long range
Lower frequencies diffract around obstacles better and suffer less free-space loss, which is why 1.2 GHz and 3.3 GHz remain popular for penetration work while 5.8 GHz is preferred for antenna size and bandwidth. Aomway manufactures across the range — 1.2 GHz, 3.3 GHz, 5.8 GHz, 7.2 GHz and 8.5 GHz at 10W, plus 1.7, 2.2, 3.3, 4.2, 5.8, 6.2 and 8.5 GHz at 4W — so the link can be matched to the environment rather than the other way round.
