I say that because one of the guys I fly with has an electric powered Cub with the DX-7 system and when he bought the video system for it, the manufacturer told him he'd have to go with the 900 stuff for the video when using the 2.4GHz for his flight control. So his system shouldn't affect my 2.4 at all, but the stuff is getting more popular.

He's only flown it once as it's still in the "get everything working stage", but the video system makes his servos hum when it's turned on. They seem to work okay, but that tells me there's some "extraneous" signals getting into stuff they shouldn't.
Tell him to make a ground plane under the vid tx antenna. a circular shaped circuit board.
