RAX200 - WiFi 5ghz-2 disappears when setting 4800mbps

Hello, setting up my new RAX200 i noticed that 5GHz-1 is set to 4800mbps and 5GHz-2 is only set to 2400mbps.

I upped the second channel to 4800mbps and it has disappeared completely? WiFi analyzer no longer shows it. Is this normal? I tried setting 5GHz-1 to 2400mbps thinking only one could be set to 4800mbps but 5GHz-2 is still not there, only setting it back to 2400mbps seems to bring it back? Normal? Cheers.
