Lectrosonics 185

[brianluce]

I've got a line on the Lectro 185. I noticed it's Vhf not Uhf. He's asking $450 for a ten yearold vhf mic, am I missing something? isn't that overpriced?

With all this DTV stuff coming up, should we consider going Vhf?

The biggest drawbacks to the 185's, IMO, are that you can't change the frequency, and that a lot of them were in the old "travelling" frequency band (169-171 MHz), which got a little crowded back in the days when everybody was using VHF.

No idea if they're considered acceptable for film use, but there's still a lot of TV stations using them.
