[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 43234, member: 171"] Re: RF Coordination for Roadies - a manual Hi Pete: Nice work and quite helpful - thank you. :) Your "channel guide" spreadsheet is excellent - never seen that before and it nicely illustrates the sliver of the spectrum we have been shoe-horned into. It also shows that the folks across the pond apparently have much more RF room to work with. You work in a worst-case RF environment and obviously know what you're doing. I did find it humorous that you include in the title "for Roadies" and then use a $7,000+ scanner to illustrate the process of coordinating wireless devices. If your interest really is for the roadie, you might consider replacing the two expensive elements of your example setup with: 1. [u]Shure's free Wireless Workbench[/u]. This software actually has some features that IAS does not, and vice-versa of course. Used properly though, WW can get you all the way there. An advantage of IAS is the built-in multi-mfg wireless device database whereas you have to add non-Shure components in WW manually. Doing this properly requires a bit of study, and in my case (as usual), I cheated. The demo version of IAS allows you to print out their wireless device database which, combined with the default setup, gives you the data needed to add non-Shure devices to WW. Example IAS Defaults: [img]http://homepage.mac.com/soundscapes/PSW/PWS_IAS_Defaults.PNG[/img] Example IAS Printout: (blue text are my corrections) [img]http://homepage.mac.com/soundscapes/PSW/PSW_IAS_Database.png[/img] WW users can cheat even worse than me and download my non-Shure database to insert in their copy of WW as a reference. Just search your hard disk for the filename "FCUserDefined.txt", replace its contents with what you find in the link below. Make a backup copy of your original file to something like "FCUserDefined.txt.original" first. You'll notice I've added a Lectrosonics wireless measurement device and several Sennheiser IEM systems.
