I have a wireless Sennheiser with a "band" frequency that is no longer allowed to be sold. Is there a way to convert it to a legal band frequency ? Or is it a throw away item ?
Sennheiser Freeport 4 channel.

I'm not aware of a feasible way of changing the frequency range on those. They are probably synthesized as opposed to using a crystal reference frequency.
Sennheiser may have a trade-in program for them...another thing you might want to check is Musician's friend and others' trade in programs.
Actually, you aren't allowed to operate equipment in the 700Mhz frequency range...i don't think they said anything about selling them.

I was going to just PM you because I figured you were the one who was going to post with an answer anyhow.lonewolf wrote:I'm not aware of a feasible way of changing the frequency range on those. They are probably synthesized as opposed to using a crystal reference frequency.

Actually it's Harry's. I took everything left to Ford Music Store. They are not allowed to sell it because the frequency is illegal. So we don't know what to do with it.
It's also illegal to sell them, at least in the US if not all of North America.lonewolf wrote:is Musician's friend and others' trade in programs.

Don't try to sell 'em unless you have a customer in a country that has no frequency limitations - It's a $10,000.00 fine. I don't have that kind of money to risk.....lonewolf wrote:I'm not aware of a feasible way of changing the frequency range on those.

Don't think it's legal to sell in USA, and there may be some heavy fines imposed for doing so - you probably wouldn't make many friends selling them unuseable stuff....lonewolf wrote:I'm not aware of a feasible way of changing the frequency range on those.

698 - 806 MHz wireless systems
Wireless systems in the 698 - 806 MHz frequency band are ILLEGAL to use in North America as of June 12, 2009. These frequencies have been re-allocated by the FCC to other communications services. All the ads you have been hearing about the new G4 wireless phones are in this frequency band. Also, radio channels for police, fire, EMS and other emergency services. That is the reason you can NOT use equipment is this frequency band. Get caught? They can confiscate your equipment and fine you mass quantities of money. Max fine is $10,000 and or five years in a federal penitentiary. Replacing your wireless is cheaper and a lot less hassle.
I love it when a plan comes together.
