[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 84555, member: 430"] Re: A cautionary tale against buying the line6 digital wireless Peter, I don't know the particulars of this unit in terms of AGC, but this general concept is one of the first things I addressed after purchasing the unit. Our private WiFi network for AV infrastructure is on the opposite diagonal of the church space, as far as I can move the units apart within the unit that we lease. The remainder of our surrounding RF environment is full, as the other tenants of the facility are software development houses. That said, they are evenly distributed across channels 1,6,11, and our wifi-based AV infrastructure operates without incident. The Line 6 operates most openly on their Channel 4 , with the front panel indicating a consistent 1 bar level interference. If 1 bar of interference on a single unit is sufficient to cause multiple clicks and drops in a minute, I'd hate see what a crowded environment would be like. I would be fine with the unit telling me "nope can't do this environment" as I know that the ISM band is potentially a mess. If we had that indication at purchase, I could have returned the unit and tried something outside the ISM band. What is frustrating is the unit indicating it will be able to perform, and then not (repeatedly). While not a fair dollar comparison, if I have WWB tied to an array of UHF-R, my eyes are wide open about what channels are going to be marginal. Hopefully that provides context. [/QUOTE]
