  • “Old” Wireless Transmitter/Receivers… now just paperweights?

    Posted by Joe Peifer on April 24, 2015 at 5:44 pm

    About 12-15 years ago I purchased two Audio-Technica ATW-R100’s and two ATW-T100’s. Audio-Technica U100 Series.

    It appears that these wireless devices communicate in the 700MHz range, which is solidly in the “no go zone” for wireless mic systems in the U.S.

    Although old, they’re in great shape and they seem to work just fine… they just seem to be outlawed.

    I’m seeking input on what I can do with these things other than just scrap them. Do they have value? If so, to who?

    Many Thanks!

    Not a whole lot of value, but they are legal freqs in other countries. I sold mine on ebay a few years ago for about $200.

    OTOH who’s going to know you’re using them with their 10mw output?

    Do they still wear orange jump suits at Guantanamo bay?

    Thanks Steve, that’s what I was hoping to read. FCC regulations strictly prohibit me from trying to sell these things to potential U.S. buyers so I’m reluctant to list them on eBay (at least for sale in US). Do you happen to know of a resource that lists countries where this bandwidth is still legally accepted?
