JohnMac Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Some suggestions to think about.1. Cast haven't retuned transmitter frequency for you? (it happens with little fingers!)2. Receiver in 'line of sight of transmitter'.3. Receiver in same room, (RF waves struggle getting through reinforced concrete).4. Transmitter not been put into Mute.5. Microphone cable not wrapped around aerial, (Screen of mic cable is normally at 0V, by wrapping it around the aerial you effectively block the RF signal coming out).6. Transmitter actually has aerial attached.7. There isn't another radio microphone in the local area using the same radio frequency. (Two transmitter on the same frequency block each other).8. Receivers have aerials attached, not touching each other, and not surrounded by steel, (racks, building cladding, structure, etc.) Hope this helps, Ideas randomly came to mind as typing, so sorry about structure and order.

Wilf dLampy Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 it didnt pick up very well from the colar bone areaI presume this is a "clip-on" radio mic. Does it work if you hold it in front of your mouth and talk into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djbarryblue Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 It could be the christle that is gone some it has just slipped off its frequence in the vhf. Check that your reciver matches the frequence on your trasmiter. ? B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not one of the locations mentioned though :unsure: In light of all the other posts on this thread I think it's a good time to point out that just because it's a radio mic doesn't mean the problem is with the radio bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
