  • Does Bank # matter? Less crowded frequencies?

    Sennheiser EW 100 G2-s

    Having problems in LA area with high-pitched interference. Was told by one end user to try higher number banks. That the frequencies in higher # banks are less crowded. Any truth to this?

    These charts will tell you where the commercially-licensed users are, but after that you’ll have to scan or manually search channels while on location.

    Thanks. I downloaded the chart. Just to be clear: I should scan for channels and then avoid the frequencies listed as being used by commercial channels? Are they the only major source of interference? Do the different banks mean anything?

    Frequency scanners – such as thoses found on higher-end receivers – will scan for any signal on the bandwidth, not just commercial stations. It could be any number of users, but you can count on the “holes” (areas of available bandwidth) changing on an hourly basis in most major metros. I don’t think one bank is favored over another in general. However, if your primary market has less wireless activity in a certain block, or bank, then it would likely have more available holes.

    Thanks Will, I understand how to scan and I know this unit scans for all busy frequencies. Just don
