  • The "CHANNEL GUIDE" has an overlay of all the New York and Los Angeles TV stations with general ranges of the wireless systems of many popular wireless manufacturers.  Some channels on this chart with licensed use show as open.  It is my experience, in the specified venues, that these stations are not strong enough to be received and should not cause problems with low power wireless microphones and in ears.

    These charts are only a guide.  Actual RF conditions should be verified in the field by monitoring the frequencies and consulting any other users nearby.
