600Mhz Wireless broadcast ban by FCC
Members :
Does anyone know the current status of the FCC’s plans with the take over of this broadcast band. Are my 600Mhz range wireless microphones illegal to use at this point? In looking back about 2 years ago it seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Now in light of rulings in August of this year it may have been relaxed somewhat.
Anybody have the full scoop on this one?

WASHINGTON, August 6, 2015 – The Federal Communications Commission adopted a Report and Order that modernizes its Part 15 rules to accommodate growing demand for and encourage innovation in unlicensed use. The new rules adopted today will permit unlicensed fixed and personal/portable white space devices and unlicensed wireless microphones to use channels in the 600 MHz and television broadcast bands while continuing to protect television and other licensed services from harmful interference.

Specifically the rules…Permit sharing of spectrum between white space devices and unlicensed microphones in the 600 MHz band; -
So I’m assuming buying a new wireless mic set that works in the 600MHz band would be ok, right? No surprises down the road (nothing is guaranteed, obviously, as politicians and policies change…)
