[Harp-L] Wireless Rigs & FCC

[Bill Hines <billhines4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sheesh we need a diversion from the assbackwards drama.

I was thinking about wireless again and remember there was some deal 
where the FCC was selling frequencies from 600 to 800 (roughly) to 
cable/tv companies or something, which means that there could be 
problems with existing wireless rigs using those frequencies. I read 
through old posts here and someone said that PAMA or some music 
instrument consortium was asking for a two year reprieve. Anyone know 
what happened there?

I don't want a belt pack (there's um, a wire there..). I want it to be 
XLR. The Samson Airline 77 looks about the best bet (SW7AVSHX), but the 
ones I see (N1-N6) use those 600-something frequencies. There was some 
talk of a new waveangle system coming a year ago, has it ever 
materialized? I know Sennheiser makes some too, but I think they're very 
expensive (transmitter alone $400+?). I know about the Hohner one, 
reviews have not been positive so not in consideration.
