No frequencies available – Sennheiser G3
Hello everyone,
HAs anyone been in a situation when they so a freq scan and the Sennheiser G3’s show no available channels? I was doing an indoor recording in a bulding that is known for low cell service signal inside and had no free channels show up. Please advise if this is the buildings issue and if I should be using a different system. Thank you!
Sennheiser G3 Band A used in the Bay Area, California.

The scan features of wireless systems are VERY BASIC……. Sennheiser, Sony and Lectrosonics do have that facility but there is a better option and that is a scanner.
For just over a 100$ you can get a very useful tool that will show you what is happening.https://rfexplorer.com/models/

Keep in mind the Sennheiser units have 20 groups of 12 preset frequencies, so which ever group is selected the scan is done only on those 12.
So to do a full scan of ‘preset’ frequencies in the receiver unit [select group 1 >>>scan], [then select group 2 >>>> scan],[ then select group 3 >>>scan], etc, etc. To do it all it needs to be 20 times.
To find frequencies ‘manually’ go to U (user) group and then select / scroll up or down to find a frequency that shows no RF on the frequency indicator.
For a one system setup its easy but when you need multiple systems you need to be aware of intermods of the RF that will cause problems.
