Olle Sjostrom Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Posted August 12, 2013 There's often governmental, or the likes, websites you could check. Some countries are very open with their info, like Norway for example. Quote
Barry OSullivan Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 Hey Siddho, In Ireland the official frequencies are the same as the UK, channel 38. PM me if you wish and I will try to give you some more information. Best Quote
Olle Sjostrom Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Posted August 12, 2013 A quick google took me to Ireland's department of communications website. Wasn't very helpful though. In the EU in general (please someone correct me if I'm mistaken), everything within 470-790 is license required but you can use it... The spectrums around 820 and upward are usually free to use but might come with transmission power restrictions.. Also I would believe the UK frequencies are a good pointer to where you might legally be OK to transmit. Now as far as actual usability goes... That's something different. And I AM working on a wiki type we page where users can actually fill personal information on which frequencies worked where and when. So that'll hopefully be a good tool whenever it's done.. But still; use your ears and plan frequencies after what seems to give you the best results range and audio wise. Quote

PM me if you wish and I will try to give you some more information. ah, thanks a lot Barry for the info. Great help. Am I right then in assuming that channel 70 (863 MHz to 865 MHz) will also be OK to use? Quote
Barry OSullivan Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Hi Siddho, Theoretically that should be fine but things aren't as regulated in Ireland as in the UK. I have been using the 606 band and Lectro block 24 for a while now but I couldn't be sure about channel 70. Quote
Ju Griz Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 What's the status on this endeavor?? I want more! I'm hungry for wireless knowledge. Not sure if this can be fit into this thread as well, or if someone can redirect me to another thread that's more appropriate... but I was wondering if there is a more updated version of Lectrosonic's wireless guide (the last one was from like 2000). Or anything similar to it. Wireless keeps changing, especially lately. So anything accurate to the past several months maybe? Might be a good addendum to the wiki. Quote
Olle Sjostrom Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 Haven't had the time obviously, being a father and a hard working sound mixer. Thanks for reminding me though, really! Now I know what to do the week after my next shoot Quote
studiomprd Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 " Wireless keeps changing, " sure, some things change, like the frequency assignments, but the technical basics remain pretty much the same, and the information in the Lectrosonics wireless guide is still applicable. personally, the ultimate wireless frequency list reads: 50MHz - 4.8GHz, subject to local government frequency allocations Quote

But I would assume that the application of said fundamentals must vary in SOME way depending on the changing frequency assignments, different regulations, new technology, etc. I'm just asking if there's any piece of reading that I can get at that might enlighten me, as well as others who want to study up and stay educated.

studiomprd Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 "any piece of reading that I can get at that might enlighten me " lots of them most of the wireless microphone manufacturers have "wireless guides", including not only our usual suspects Lectrosonics, Sennheiser), but also the companies that are huge in the live performance, and other uses of wireless microphones (Shure, Audio Technica); the information in these guides is completely relevant. in addition most of these same companies have some frequency selection information on their sites, along with plenty of FAQ's, and specvific product information. reminder: Television broadcasters are only a piece of the actual interference picture that will be encountered in use, and interference varies greatly from time to time, and from place to place.

YES! Awesome! Thank you! Haha, well my dad is a robotics programmer and machinist, and my brother is a mechanical engineer. Growing up in a household like that, you get to have a pretty good understanding of mathematics and physics. I actually almost got into that myself, until I started working in film. So, yes, the more technical, the better. Once again, thank you for the useful post. Quote
Ju Griz Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Now, if that stuff isn't sufficient, or technical enough for you, perhaps you will find what you are looking for at other places, like the ARRL website www.arrl.org and their many books, including the annual "Handbook", and "Antenna Book" publications. So there are TONS of books on there... All of which are ~$30+ I'm assuming for the annual handbook, it should be this one: http://www.arrl.org/shop/2014--Handbook-Softcover-Centennial-Edition/ But there are like 10 different ones on antennas. Is there a preferred one? Lol I can't afford them all. Also, I'm not in ham radio at all. Not sure if that changes anything. Quote
studiomprd Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 I suggest you digest all of the various free wireless guides available on the manufacturers' websites...ander through the FAQ's... do some searching, as the various AV magazines, Systems Contractors and Film Video magazines are frequently doing helpful, though sometimes basic articles...

VASI Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 From 1st January 2015 the 800 MHz band will not be available in Greece. The available frequencies will be between 470 MHz to 795 MHz. Here the announcement from HTPC (Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission) http://www.eett.gr/opencms/opencms/EETT_EN/Electronic_Communications/Telecoms/Licensing/RoU800_2600results10.html Quote
Robert Bluemke Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 Reviving this thread, I'm heading to Argentina in a week and wanted to know if there were frequencies that worked better than others. I currently own Lectro Block 21 and 22, can rent if needed. Thanks in advance. Quote
mikewest Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Oh no! The American school master has woken up! mike Quote
Marc Wielage Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 One issue to be aware of is that there are frequencies that can get you in trouble with certain governments, depending on where and how you use them. I would be wary of using any U.S. block unless I checked with the government regulations on transmitter strength and frequency. I believe Japan has regulated wireless transmitters down to 10mW, as one example, just to curb RFI. Quote
Tyler Faison Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 I also have some international stuff coming up and wanted to see if anyone here could help with a few of the countries below. My main concern is being able to bring this wireless gear into these countries legally. I'd hate to bring it knowing it will probably work in our remote locations, only for it to be turned away because of local regulations I'm unfamiliar with. Several of the other places are already listed. Thanks for the hard work, Olle (and friends)! Iceland Italy Croatia Malta New Guinea Honduras British Virgin Islands Vietnam Quote
Jack Norflus Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 That is a very interesting list of locations. Can you mention what the project is? Quote
Ze Frias Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 And better yet, take me with you Tyler :-) Quote
Tyler Faison Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 That is a very interesting list of locations. Can you mention what the project is? I could, but then I'd have to kill you :-) Probably all I can say is it shoots around water. Quote
Patrick Tresch Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Added 250mW for Switzerland. Has anyone any infos about Brasil? Thanks Pat Quote
soundtrane Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Added info for India and Hungary... Quote
