alenK Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi, I am currently using older Block 21, 22 and 25 gear. I have not followed the latest news about which blocks have been or are likely to be ineligible for production use, but I am beginning to shop for new gear. The new Lectrosonics multi block gear appeals to me and my current use habits lead me to think the B1 band will be a good choice. The little bit of recent reading I have done suggests that the C1 band (blocks 24, 25, 26) has been sold off and so should be disregarded for new gear. How about A1 vs B1? Thank you.

codyman Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 C1 is going to be phased out. As for A1 or B1, I guess it depends on what market you work in mostly? Here in Los Angeles, I seem to have better luck with the A1 lower range. The Sennheiser USA Frequency Finder, although not perfect, is a great way to somewhat check various zip codes of where you might often shoot to see what might be best for you. Then again, now that the 600mhz range is going bye bye, everything might shift around and who knows what will be the best for certain areas!

alenK Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thank you for the comments and info. What is the time frame for the "replacing" of broadcasters below 600MHz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Lectrosonics has a little write up about everything as well as links to what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alenK Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thank you. I had read that but overlooked the info about the 39 month transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
