Finally, it appears that the FCC is showing some brains and setting aside two TV channels' worth of spectrum for all of us wireless microphone, IEM, and intercom users!

It would appear that we will be able to operate anywhere from 14-16 wireless systems concurrently and be protected; venues with a need for more wireless systems than that can apply for additional protection with the FCC. However, I think that most churches should be able to make the 14-16 numbers work; after all, as a tech, if I can have a wired mic vs. a wireless mic, I will. Unless, of course, all of my wired lines have inherent noise in them as I have experienced at a particular church in the Portland area. :)
Anyway, praise God that we are now going to be protected in the wireless spectrum! It's still important to read the details and make sure that you are going to be safe with your current wireless microphone systems, but at least there is protected spectrum for us now! Or at least there WILL be!
