The TV Ch 2-14 isn't a help because currently no wireless units made
for professional use in the USA work on those freqs. The idea of
the registry could help theatres and churches possibly (if the
technology works and cheating on power levels of the white space
devices isn't allowed), but helps film/video etc users not at all.
THere's the rub. It's been years since I've seen a vhf
wireless microphone g. tHey were still crystal controlled
last time iirc g.

IT doesn't even help the churches etc. that much if they do
their scans at a time when those freqs aren't in use.

There was a comment earlier in this thread about heightened FCC
enforcement in the the above-700MHz bands after Feb 19. Does that
mean we'll have heightened enforcement all over the spectrum, or
just above 700MHz? What form will this enforcement take--should we
expect lots of roving FCC compliance vans on our streets after Feb
19? Did the FCC get additional budget from congress to hire more
enforcement agents to do this work, since it will be in addition to
all the enforcement the FCC is already doing?

OF course not, but if they tell you there will be you're
supposed to buy it now. AFter all, it's whatever they tell
you it is. FOllow the money.

I think any new type radios from Lectro (as in diversity, agile,
scanning, with LCD displays and battery monitoring etc ) in the VHF
band will be more expensive than the current UHF units for comparable
performance (ie with a tracking front end as in 411a) since the R+D
etc is being done with current dollars, not 2002 etc dollars, and the
numbers they sell their portable units in are not very big (compared
to rack units for PA use etc).

I actually DO want new wirelesses to act like cel phone/ white space
devices. I want them to find their own free freqs and move when a
clearer freq is found or interference is encountered. I want them to
listen to the environment before they commit to a freq. I want the
uptime on a small internal battery that a cel phone has, and I want
the portable RXs that we'd use in bag-rigs to be the size of cel
phones as well. For this I would gladly pay considerably
more per channel than I have already.
