Wireless Frequency/Country???
I am planning on buying a wireless mic from B&H soon and was wondering if anyone might know what the legal frequency for wireless mic's in South Africa is? I've Googled my eyes out, I can't find a clear cut answer, even the professionals I've talked to don't care, they say buy any frequency which makes me question how professional they are.
I'm looking at the Shure PGX handheld series. Guidelines for Fifa 2010 by ICASA says: Quote:

Looking at the FIFA document you referenced I've got a suspicion that they just copied the frequency allocations from the applicable government publications and those lower 3 frequncy bands listed are just hold-overs remaining in the law from times long gone. VHF mics such as those operating in the range you listed 173.965 to 174.015 work okay but are usually of limited range and tend to offer a lesser sound quality and are susceptible to interference. You'd expect to find current generation pro quality mics operating in the top two UHF frequency bands you listed.. I wonder if you've misinterpreted some of the specs from those dealers. Shure says the PGX receivers give you a choice of operating frequencies across an 18 MHz bandwidth. That's not the same this as operating on the 18 MHz band. 524 MHz to 542 MHz is a spread of 18 MHz, or expressed another way, an 18 MHz operating bandwidth. As far as getting specific info on what is legal, why not just ring up ICASA and ask them? They're the ones that enforce it, they HAVE to know. |
Steve thanks that clears up a lot of my questions!
