Can I run a 2.4GHz Radio and a 2.4GHz FPV system?

I would like to know if I can run my 2.4GHz JR Aircraft radio with a 2.4GHz FPV system without issues? Thanks for all your help RCG!

Thank you so much philthyy!

OK - So that I have this correctly.
I'll have to run a 5.8GHz or a 900 MHz FPV system?

Thank you to Farmer.
Funny... I really am a farmer too!

So would I be better to run a 5.8GHz or a 900MHz FPV system with a 2.4GHZ aircraft radio?
If anything cuts out I want it to be the FPV and NOT my aircraft radio.

Thanks for all the help.

Yep. And even then you'll have issues. 2.4ghz controllers are digital devices, and thy do NOT respond well to having a video transmitter blasting away right by them. I strongly suggest you get a 72mhz system or a UHF system. Or do some research here on RCG about using a booster and different antennas for your JR 2.4 radio.

I have looked at Dragon Link for my aircraft radio but I heard they don't play nice with each other? Have they got that problem resolved?

Yes. The new firmware resolves that issue perfectly. The Dragonlink is awesome. You can't go wrong with that.
