[QUOTE="Don Boomer, post: 84620, member: 633"] Re: A cautionary tale against buying the line6 digital wireless Well if you only have one then you can't be on in two modes at the same time of course. But I think your problem Phil is that you are running in the wrong mode for your venue. Here's the button pushes to switch modes ... [URL="http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2645"]Community: Line 6 Wireless RF1 And RF2 Mode Switching[/URL] You only have to switch the transmitter as the receiver will automatically follow. As far as dragging in an analyzer, well it never hurts to understand what the playground looks like. If there is enough interference then any wireless would crash. But with our system interference never becomes audio. So interference does come into the antennas and then the system deals with it. Because we are looking for an encrypted signal we can pretty much ignore almost anything else. We only need a couple of dB of signal above the noise floor to create normal audio. So in the RF1 mode (4 channel) you could well be taking many thousands of hits per hour but you'll never hear it in the audio. Our system is randomly jumping to a different frequency every 300 nano-seconds so even when you lose a complete packet it is extremely tiny and the error concealment system covers it. In order to go off the air you usually need 6 or more consecutive hits. And since we are jumping and wi-fi is jumping statistically that is highly improbably. The other thing is that the 4 frequencies that we jump to are distributed over multiple wi-fi channels and they are also in the guard band where wi-fi is prohibited. So that frequency theoretically should be clear. Now in RF2 mode the channels ARE on wi-fi channels (although their channel numbers and ours are not the same) and if wi-fi is active at the same time you are on you will have collisions. The idea being that you can select a channel that is not being used by wi-fi (much as you would use a TV UHF wireless and steer away from broadcast TV) [/QUOTE]
