DCWester Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hey All, I'm shooting in Scotland at the end of February and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good frequency blocks that are fairly open. Using Lectro 411s and not sure what the best way to coordinate my wireless systems is. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 " the best way to coordinate my wireless systems " use one of the computer programs (aka app) or just do a scan... (RTFM)...(or web site) there is a nice write up of how to go through setting up the systems and cross checking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugstar Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 hi dave, currently the only blocks legally permitted in the UK are Channel 69 ( 854.100 - 861.900) and Channel 38 ( 606.500 - 613.500). might be worth looking into a local hire of wireless, as i gather neither of those blocks are commonplace in the US. PM me if you require any further info cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Contact JFMG (jfmg.co.uk)- they deal with licencing and can give you co-ordinated frequencies for where you're shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCWester Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 What block are your 411's? I've got blocks 20, 21, 22, 24, and 26 at my discretion. So it could be an array of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Gilbert Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Malcolm, can I say anything about UK radio mic use that you won't pick holes in? You clearly don't like me, and have a need to criticise every post I make, but why don't you put your time to something more useful? Why is it so bad to tell a visiting mixer that Block 23 contains frequencies that are legal here? That information is 100% true..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPitot Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Actually most of US23 that covers ch38 is greyed out because I believe those freqs are illegal in the states. Blk24 will cover UK ch39 and 40 which are ok to use here. As stated above, you need a license. It's easy to buy online, check out jfmg.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have totally misinterpreted what I have been trying to say in my various posts. I'm not picking holes at all, but if you are going to give information for visiiting mixers IMHO you should also point out the downside of just turning up and using radio mics willy nilly without being licenced. I have to have a licence and I would expect anyone else whether a visitor or not to conform to this legal requirement. During my slide down the bannister of life, unlicenced radio mic users in the UK are a splinter in my backside. When I work outside of the UK I go to a lot of trouble to make sure that I am correctly licensed for the country I'm in. Do You or do you just say bollocks to it and use your UK gear anyway? As far as your comment about not liking you I feel that you are getting a bit paranoid. We have never met or had any dealings with one another and if you walked into my office today I wouldn't know you from Adam, so where you get this idea from I haven't got a clue. I must apologise to other members of this discussion group as I think that this mud slinging has no place on the JW group and should have been done through a PM but Jon's criticism of me had to be answered. Let's hope that this matter has been put to bed. Malcolm Davies. A.m.m.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
