This one really made me feel like a newb.
I sent in a rack of four ULXP wireless combo kits and an antenna distro for repair when I was noticing significant decreases in operating range. The call I got from one of their service techs really surprised me. He said that the J1 band was very likely to be interfered with by various TV stations emitting strong signals, and without a dedicated RF scanner, I would not be able to reliably find a free channel.
It seems a bit disingenuous for Shure to tell me now that the J1 band is unusable, but still display a robust list of recommended frequencies for use on the J1 band in the Chicago area in their online frequency finder.
My only (read: cost-possible) option now it seems is to sell these to someone in another area and go hunting for another great deal on ULX combo kits.
What do you guys think about this? Thanks.
