Have you guys had time to compare automatic vs manual settings

I set my goggles 2 to channel 1 with 40mhz bandwith and it seems I get better range and penetration then flying with goggles set to automatic

if I set to manual does it mean I am only in 5.8ghz? that is grey out and can't change it. The menu show mw 5.8ghz, this mean I am in 5.8Ghz only or else the menu would show 5.8/2.4Ghz or something like that.

auto

auto


when I did those print screen, I set to auto then back to manual and it was on channel 2. I set it to channel 1 because I want the lowest frequency possible.

manual

manual


This theory needs more testing. I will get to my flying spot where I know the in's and out and will fly back to back to compare the 2.
It all started when it was set to auto and the video feed frooze for too long and I disarm and behind my shed the camera lag. 2 place this should of never happen.
I then change to manual and when to my flying spot, everything was better then my v2 goggles. I also had my right oled stop working and had to reboot. So I am questionning the hardware. Will keep testing and keep you guys posted.
yes I have latest firmware

what you guys think?

From my understanding of the system. The video link from the O3 Air Unit is only 5.8 GHz and the communication for the FPV Remote 2 is both 2.4 GHz-5.8 GHz.

ok I confirm 100% that manual mode is the way to go. I tested back to back and oh boy I am lucky I figure this out. I am editing a video to show the difference. It's major. Use the same settings in the print screen and thanks me later
