problems setting the channel

Hello,

Forgive the newbie question, but I'm having a hard time setting the channel.  Here is my output:

======================================
root@OpenWrt:~# iw dev wlan0 info
Interface wlan0
    ifindex 7
    wdev 0x2
    addr 04:f0:21:01:1b:91
    type AP
    wiphy 0
    channel 11 (2462 MHz) NO HT
root@OpenWrt:~# iw reg get
country US:
    (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (3, 27)
    (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (3, 17)
    (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
    (5490 - 5600 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
    (5650 - 5710 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
    (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (3, 30)
root@OpenWrt:/# iw dev wlan0 set channel 10
root@OpenWrt:/# iw dev wlan0 set channel 19                                    
command failed: Invalid argument (-22) 
==================================================


Any ideas why setting channel to 10 is ok, but setting channel to 19 fails?
I do notice that my phy is split into two parts, Band1 and Band2.

Any ideas as to how I can set wlan0 to the channels in  Band2?
