Olle Sjostrom Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 OK everyone. I'm off work and I have nothing to do but to read this board. And there's an epidemic of "What frequencies to use in......." -threads so I figured; why not make a Google Document Spreadsheet that ilsts all of these "OK" frequencies to use in different countries? We are legion on here, from all over the world so acquiring the info from locals wouldn't be that hard. Let's give it a try at least. This is the link for it. I contributed with Sweden. https://docs.google.com/a/tjockishjartafilm.se/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgnGQulSs_YrdFAwZGZ2LWVjRkRuY0owOEtHcHZqclE#gid=0 Anyone can edit or add information. You don't need a google account to edit If anyone has a better idea than a spreadsheet (i don't know how to make a wiki... ) that'd be great. I thought this would be a start. And if such a document or wiki or database already exists, please ignore. ADDITION: Richard Thomas posted a link to this website, it lists information for European countries with users input..

Richard Thomas Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've just tried to edit it and can't. This is a great idea btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've just tried to edit it and can't. This is a great idea btw Yeah I had missed a little detail hidden in the depths of Google's "I don't get it" menus. It should be fixed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Found a very cool website that lists all frequencies in Europe, and their assignment. Not useful for this document really, but still. Very extensive:: http://www.efis.dk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudartSound Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Love the google doc, will be really useful once filled in. Efis link looks like it's full of info, one problem with it is that some documents appear to be only in native languages but I've found good links for France and Germany so far.

ryanpeds Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Submitted for the USA. FCC Part 74 license is the legal way to operate. The 944 block is not covered under a part 74 license. Broadcasters such as NBC, ABC, CBS, etc can purchase and operate on 944. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Submitted for the USA. FCC Part 74 license is the legal way to operate. The 944 block is not covered under a part 74 license. Broadcasters such as NBC, ABC, CBS, etc can purchase and operate on 944. I got a great idea for a cartoon gag: two guys wearing striped uniforms are in prison. First guy says, "what're you in for?" Second guy says, "murder, rape, arson, and rape." He pauses and then asks the first guy, "so what're you in for?" And the guy answers, "I used a block 944 wireless without a permit."

Olle Sjostrom Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have done some more research and I've discovered that a Wiki isn't all that hard to create. So I'm gonna do a test run and put that link up on here ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonG Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thank you! Merci! Gracias! Multzumesc foarte mult! Muito obrigado! Nothing bugs me more than people not doing their own research. This is a great idea and I am frankly surprised that no one has thought of it sooner. Hopefully this will really help alleviate some of the more common questions seen on the various boards, and help fellow mixers find their way around the global air space!

Olle Sjostrom Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks everyone. When I have more time I will make a simple site that contains all this info and is a bit more intuitive Thanks everyone.

Michael Panfeld Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 For the US, I see 54-72 and 76-88 are legal. The 72-76 (i.e., the Comtek letter freqs) are not in the illegal column. What is their legal status? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 " What is their legal status? " IIRC, no longer legal for what we typically use them for (USA). but used for ADA listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddho Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Got a feature coming up in the autumn with some dates over in Ireland but cant find any frequency info for it on the above sites! Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Siddho: Two ideas: 1) I would contact sound mixers located in or around the area you will be working in. They will be best to tell you any detailed information on wireless and any particular issues. AND/OR 2) I would contact the manufacturer of your wireless devices. More likely than not, they will have that information available being that they have to make these products to work in many parts of the world. Best of luck, J.

Siddho Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks for the tips Jose. I am hoping that my post here will cover your 1st suggestion!! Maybe some Irish collegues might chime in to help. I also had an idea to contact hire companies in Ireland and ask them for the info. Am not sure if they would reply but I guess it is worth a try too. Will post the frequencies here when I get them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
