NOTE: If you have ‘tweaked’ any Betaflight settings outside of the Vortex OSD, please remember to back

Appendix C: Video Tx - Staying Legal
Depending upon the Vortex variant purchased, and the Tx module installed, the video transmitter power output
level, and available transmit frequencies can vary.
It is highly recommended to understand the rules and regulations in your country before using the Vortex.
Transmitting outside a legal band is something frowned upon by the authorities, and may result in a fine, or
confiscation of equipment.
As a rule of thumb, the following charts should help understand which frequencies are legal in each of our main
markets.
ITU Region 2: Americas, Greenland, eastern Pacific Islands
Assuming that the user has a Ham license, the 5650 - 5925 MHz band may be used.
Note that all 8 channels of ImmersionRC’s RaceBand are legal in in this region, with a Ham license.
