saveSource: https://shop.iflight.com/index.php?route=product/product/download&download_id=244 — iFlight's own Instructions PDF (BLITZ 1.6W VTX Manual.pdf), linked from the Downloads list of the shop.iflight.com product page, read off the page's drawing coordinates. Five bands of eight, 40 slots, A/B/E/F/R. iFlight's page states 48 channels twice and its own manual's grid prints no L band; the grid is stored as printed, so the L band (5362-5621 MHz on the Whoop 1.6W manual's grid) is not in this table and a pilot who needs it has to add a band. The four power values are the manual's Specs line, 'Power levels: 25mW/400mW/800mW/1600mW' - the page's leading PIT is a mode - and 1600 is labelled 1W6 for Betaflight's three-character label. The manual's LED legend is the same copied 25/100/200 block that the Whoop 1.6W manual prints and is not this radio's levels. Band names are Betaflight's own for the letters the manual prints; the manual prints the letter only.. Transmitting is only legal on the frequencies and power your country allows; see VTX frequency bands.

Where this data comes from
iFlight's own product page prints the labelled block: Input voltage: 7V~34V, Interface: MMCX, Power levels: PIT/25mW/400mW/800mW/1600mW, Channels: 48 (including Raceband), Mounting pattern: 30.5x30.5mm/Φ3, Lightweight: 18.9g (excluding antenna), VTX telemetry: IRC Tramp. channels was 40 off the retail listing and is 48: the manual's frequency table (BLITZ 1.6W VTX Manual.pdf) is six bands of eight, A-B-E-F-R-L, and the page says 48 twice. model is iFlight's own name for the radio: the retail title 'Blitz 30x30 25-1000mW+ 5.8GHz - MMCX' prints a top step of 1000mW+ for a radio whose maker lists 1600 mW, and a 30x30 class for a board the maker measures at 30.5x30.5mm. The slug keeps the name it was minted with. max_power_mw 1600, mount_mm 30.5x30.5mm and weight_g 18.9 were already right and are now cited to the manufacturer; the manual rounds the same weight to 19g. The manual's LED legend reads '1 flash=25mW, 2 flashes=100mW, 3 flashes=200mW', three steps that are not this radio's four - the same boilerplate legend appears in the BLITZ Whoop 1.6W manual, so it is a copied block and not a fifth and sixth power level.
