Hello DVXuser's,

I just purchased 3 sets of these from a person selling their equipment. I'm keeping the 2 "B" frequency sets. I'm selling this "C" frequency set. This is a stock photo, but the units look "like new". They have only been used 3 times.

It also includes the camera mount for the receiver, and belt clip for the transmitter. The frequencies are from 740-776mhz.


I am asking $350 obo shipped/paypalled/insured (in USA). PM me.

F.Y.I., that has been delayed for a while.

Pushed by the Obama administration, the Senate approved the delay and the House is expected to follow suit. Instead of Feb. 17, the deadline will be June 12.

I'm taking serious offers.

Delayed awhile or not, its still good form to let people know that the equipment you are selling will not be legal for use in the US. If I am paying hundreds of dollars for something I would expect it to be able to work for more than a few weeks or a few months.
 
Well, I'm keeping my 2 "C" sets for awhile. It's going to be at least a year before most of the new freq. are transmitting on the "C" band, if even that.

The transmission reach of my Sennheisers are very limited, as most wireless mics are. Unless you interfere with someones receiver, I doubt you'll have any problems. One time I forgot to change the freq. on a job, and found later I was on the same freq. as a TV station in LA. No problems. I didn't interfere with anyones TV and I had great sound, because of the short range of my wireless mic.

And all of you, including me, are using wireless mics illegally if you don't have a FCC license. Yep, technically, you need a license unless you are operating in the 49 Mhz, 902-928 Mhz or 2.4 Ghz band. But, the FCC never has enforced those rules for the wireless crowd. They never recieved any complaints. Shame on us.

I think you'll be fine for a long time using "C" units.

I want to be clear. I'm not saying that someone shouldn't buy this set. I have a 700mHz range set that I use, and will hold on to for back up after the switch. I just think that the seller needs to tell the potential buyers the facts of the matter. Full disclosure and all that.
 
Thanks for being on top of this.

Thanks for being on top of this.

I just clicked on this thread to let people know about this issue. The issue seems to have received good coverage. I have seen these "C" models on super sale all over the place. When I was investigating which one to buy I found some info out there. One of the issues, and I have no reference, from what I remember is those frequencies are being sold for random digital transmissions. This means when the frequencies start getting used the interference will not be from a centralized TV station but sources that are more prevalent. Such as Mobile devices and data transmissions. Therefore the real issue in my mind is not "am I allowed to use this frequency" but "will I be able to use it and capture usable audio".


All that being said I am sure that in most areas of the country it will be usable for a good long while. I however live in a large urban center and make good money with my wireless, I would not want to take the risk.
 
Not sure!

Not sure!

Nobody really knows what will work and what will not. It all depends on how those frequencies are used near you. Before the switch it was fairly easy to tell because the frequencies where reserved for Local TV Stations. Sennheiser even had a chart on your area on their website. That is why I bought "B" it is best for Philly. In New York "A" is best. The "C" band is going to be up for grabs. So it may work great, but it is a buyer by beware situation.
