I have searched but maybe not using the right language or something. I want I know what freqs I'm using do I can fly with other drones in the same area. Is there a placard or something or only a spectrum analyzer can tell me?
 
It's wifi 2.4ghz.
The same as your home network kind of.
The solo can only be connected to one controller at a time.

OK thanks, indulge me one more dumb question....
So there is not frequency number per se? Like, I use wireless mics sometimes say at 540.450 and maybe some comms at 567.150.
So nothing like that then huh?

There are, I think, about 13, but if I'm wrong I know someone will correct me, wifi channels on the 2.4 ghz range available. if you get a network analyser app. You should see the channel it's communicating on.
The channels are numbered 1 through 13 (that is if it's 13 in total)

grab wifi analyzer on the app stores
it will show you what channel your sololink is using
it will also show what you are competing with
In the early days there was a change made to the firmware that had solo look for non congested channels before selecting what channel it would operate on. It started as a community hack and was put into the firmware permanently
 
I noticed in the 3dr-solo.log the following table...

acs_num_scans=8
wlan0-ap:

10 2457 * -93 402 119 104 8
11 2462 -94 108 36 35 0


...Maybe the one with the * ?

Just grab wifi scanner, the channel will change everytime you boot. with the app you can see what channel the selection made.
Its pretty slick actually. I can remember at one time, if you were having tx loss RTH you could land and cycle solo forcing a new channel selection and it helped range
