question

My Sony WCS-999 Camera Mountable 900 MHz Lavalier Microphone System is unpredictable some times it works and other times it cracks and cuts recording. Can you tell me why?
Asked by: Anonymous
It would be difficult to determine the cause of your particular issues however, the Sony WCS-999 is a low power consumer product that operates in the 900 MHz frequency range. This frequency range is populated with many wireless products that can cause interference with this system. It works best when used at close range, and not intended for use for professional applications.

question

How does this comply with Australian federal frequency laws as of January 2015?
Asked by: Anonymous
The ACMA Digital Dividend regulation only affects frequencies between 694 MHz and 820 MHz. Any systems operating within this frequency range will no longer be legal for wireless microphone use. No changes are scheduled to be made in the 900MHz band which is legal for use with low power communication devices such as wireless mics.
