Thanks! That'll affect both Joerg & me, and possibly others in
the newgroup. AFAIR, he's got Sennheiser in his church - mine's
Shure. We'll both have to check the frequency to see if we need
to replace them.

A guy who did service in Australia was _summoned_ into the office where
he was read the riot act because he had dared to do the unthinkable. He
had closed up an electronics cabinet after fixing the electronics.
Screwing the door back on was according to the union not the job of an
electronics guy. The fact that the other guy would have had to drive
tens of miles to the location left them completely unimpressed. The fact
that no radio link was available out there and that dirt could otherwise
get in was brushed aside as well, it didn't matter. Pathetic.

Also, most of that gear is programmable so you can move it below 700MHz.
Older gear may have to be re-crystaled and aligned but that's not
super-expensive.

Yeah, thanks! I had done a sound system at the city a couple of years
ago, and needed to be sure that the Shure mics I used weren't on the
list.
