801.875 MHz?
My Samson operates at a 801.875 frequency; yet it still shows up as a banned mike via FCC.gov's website. BHPhoto.com still sells a number of the affected mikes. If the 700 MHz frequency is the broadcast frequency, why are the 800 MHx mikes affected?

I believe the ban goes up to something like 805 mhz. I can't tell you why B&H is selling mics with the ban, but perhaps they will only ship out of the country.

The language of the ban talks about the 700 MHz band, but in truth, the ban goes even higher than that. For all intents and purposes, don't bother with anything between 698 and 900. This covers all of the European frequencies that have a tendency to make it over to the US on occasion. Those have been illegal for awhile, but you still see them pop up.
In terms of US-made mics, the entire 700 MHz band as described by previous posts in this thread is off limits. --Ben |
