Sony URX/UTX Wireless Audio System -- US/China compatibility

Hi everyone,

I currently have an Sony URX-P03 wireless audio receiver and a matching UTX-B03 wireless transmitter. Both were purchased in China and occupy channels 38-46 (710.025-782.000 mHz).

I am interested in upgrading the URX-P03 to a two-channel URX-P03D. It seems that the US versions of this product distribute channels/frequencies differently. If I get one that occupies channels 42-51 (638 to 698 MHz), will it still work with my current transmitter?

Actually, just typing out the frequency bands makes me realize that they do not overlap, although the channel ranges overlap. It seems that none of the 3 US versions of the URX-P03D occupy or even overlap with 710.025-782.000 mHz.

Is it simply that different countries map different frequencies to different channels? And different countries reserve different frequencies for civilian use, I assume? If I simply buy a new set in the US, will it likely get interference when used in China, or will I be okay if I stick with certain frequencies?

Thank you.

As long as some the same exact frequencies can be set, and the make / model is the same, it should work.
That said, the 700MHz range is not legal in the US and hasn't been for a few years. The 600Mhz range is.... currently.. but won't be in a few months, after the recent FCC auction. FWIW, T-Mobile acquired a lot of the 600Mhz range in the repackaging.

True but you will be grandfathered in for about three years, so it wont be illegal till about three years from now.
