Do the wireless mics have some sort of legal precedence here? That is, do they somehow reserve the right to the spectrum they use in the name of the broadcasters?


Or in the future will those mics also be required to auto-sense other uses of a frequency, and act as good citizens?

Not exactly a good test. Should work fine, unless someone happens to be trying to watch the game on TV, a couple of feet from the mike. Which is not very likely.


Uhhhhhh Bert...

The test is to determine if the WSDs are able to detect the use of the channel(s) that are being used for the wireless mics. I believe they will test the ability of the WSDs to detect the mic signals, but will not use the transmit capabilities of the tested devices.

Apparently its not just the full power stations that are wary of the WSDs. The wireless mics use known unused channels ( at least when the people using them take the time to work with the local frequency coordinator).

Given the low power at which these mics operate, this should be an interesting test.
