July 18, 2008 at 5:49 pmI heard back from my dealer. First of all, the receiver is made to operate in several different cameras, so to work in the Panasonic slot it needs a specific adapter plate, which comes with the one I bought. The 5p variant receiver (which is $125 more) doesn’t come with the adapter, so it is also $125 extra. The TA5 to dual Male XLR cable from Lectrosonics is $75. If I order now I can expect it to ship in mid September.
So I can pay $325 on top of what I’ve already paid to have it in September, or pay nothing extra and hope Panasonic delivers on the firmware upgrade 3 months later.
I’ve decided to wait.

January 2, 2009 at 4:53 pmThanks to your post, Jeremy, I downloaded the update and installed it. I am happy to report that my wireless can receive two separate transmitters on different frequencies. Happy day! As a one-man-band, this is a big deal for me.
Thanks again.

April 16, 2009 at 1:38 amHello, I have Panasonic HPX2000 and Lectro SR 5P and I have some problems.
When it was connected to unislot the first time it was a heavy nose ( like a ground loop) on both channels.My friend from Pro Sound sad Lectro and Panas have a different in / out, one has symmetric another asymmetric and he fixed the scheme in Lectro.
Nose disappeared, but signal level from unislot is around 12db less then from signal from the top connector.Di you have any similar problems or everything is fine on your camera??
best, Arkadiy

April 16, 2009 at 1:12 pmEverything works fine for me. There are a few settings in the camera menus that affect the wireless. For instance, there is one for one channel/ two channel. I can’t recall for sure, but there may be an input level you can adjust. I know that if your frequency setting isn’t spot on you can get some noisy audio and it will be low.
