Subject: [iec-coop] [This may be spam]AV Co-op Info Concerning FCC Wireless
Ban Issue
To: All AV Co-op customers who have purchased wireless mic systems or
wireless products from the AV Co-op Catalog over many years
I started to look at this to find out if any of the wireless microphone
systems or wireless products that we have sold would fall into this
banned range, and then realized that it is going to be near impossible
for us to track down that list. We have been selling wireless for over 20
years and, hopefully, all of them are still working. From the recent
past, I don't think we sold any in the 700 MHz range, however, it will be
up to the end user to check to see.
I received this snippet of info from an email from Rex Lawrence at ECS,
one of our vendors in Davenport:
Wireless Microphones and wireless products operating in the 698 MHz to
806 MHz Range have been Banned by the FCC
Effective June 12th, 2010 frequency range 698 MHz to 806 MHz will be used
as a Public Safety Frequency and it will be considered unlawful to use
them for anything else. I understand that this is inconvenient for you
and your school. I brought this to your attention to keep you informed
and to let you know that many of the manufactures that we represent are
offering significant discounts to end-users that upgrade to new wireless
systems operating outside the banned ranged. My sales staff has a great
understanding of the situation, would be happy to inform you on whether
your current equipment falls within the approaching banned range, and
would be happy to let you know what discounts are being offered.
You can call ECS at 563-322-1525 for more information on this issue.
All of our other AV Co-op dealers, who sell wireless microphones, will be
happy to help you determine whether you have a unit that may be banned.
