TAFFY Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi all I’m not a sound boy but am currently involved in a community production which is to start in July, they have got a TV lighting/broadcasting company to do the sound and LX. I had a meeting with them were they told me that our current sound set up was “illegal†as we do not have a radio license for out two radio mic. I have never heard about getting a license to operate radio mic’s. So do you need one? Sori if im spelling/grammers bad im dyslexicThanks for your time!!

Andrew C Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Depends. What frequency are your mics? There are licence exempt frequencies in both the UHF & VHF bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Ill check when I go into work again. thank'sFor 'free' use you need to be operating between 173.800 and 175.000MHz in the VHF or 863.000 and 865.000MHz in the UHF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not just "between" those frequencies but actually on specific allotted frequencies in those ranges. As p.k.roberts says, the JFMG web site has all the information.

Simon Lewis Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well, not just "between" those frequencies but actually on specific allotted frequencies in those ranges. Indeed! My attempt at a "lower technical content answer" backfired! The VHF free to use channels used to be 173·800MHz, 174·100MHz, 174·500MHz, 174·800MHz 175·000MHz. Now they are required to operate between 173.7 to 175.1MHz. Trantec provide: 173.8,174.00,174.2,174.4,174.6,174.8 & 175.00MHz. The potential for intermodulation between these systems is quite high! However, the UHF 863 - 865 band does appears to be a range that is dependant upon what the manufacturer can squeeze in.... e.g. Trantec use863.000 863.475 864.350 864.725 Shure (on their ULX series) use:863.225863.650864.450864.875 Their older UT series could only manage 3 frequencies in this band.
