I'm asking because people are saying they see a 900Mhz option on the smart controller V1 but no 5.8Ghz option that was advertised. But, I'm hearing that the smart controller V2 is supposed to have the 5.8Ghz option.Sent this email to Randall about a week ago but haven't gotten a response. I'm not gonna buy until I get these answers. Can anybody help me out?
"Hi Randall,
I was hoping you could provide some clarification for me.
1. Are the smart controller and Evo II (together) going to be dual-band or tri-band?

2. Are the smart controller V1 and smart controller V2 going to be using different bands?
3. Without the smart controller (just the standard controller), will the Evo II V2 support dual-band or tri-band at all?"
If evo is making the smart controller able to use 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz and 5.8ghz, it implies they will be making other drones that use these frequencies. Long range drones typically use the lower bandwidths like 900mhz and 2.4ghz, while short range drones use the higher bandwidths. For a higher bandwidth, like 5.8 ghz to get long range the power needs to be boosted much higher than the 2.4 ghz and 900mhz.
