Re: FCC-Zax radios

Thanks, David, for your thoughts. I think we're all in agreement to a
certain degree, but we're also undoubtedly aware that getting the FCC
to give us a cut rate on the airwaves to protect "national interests"
(such as those that apply to the use of wireless mics) poses a much
more complex challenge even than getting production and post-production
to adopt Billy Sarokin's proposed workarounds, and with far worse odds.
I'm not saying I'm not up for it -- but we have to be aware of what
we're up against, which I imagine is plenty of other folks lobbying for
that same airspace, with similarly convincing arguments on why their
application is worthy of one of the few slices of pie left (backed by
dump trucks full of money to drop in the FCC's coffers).

The other response thus far to your post (from soundhaspriority,
whomever that might be) has an interesting logic to it -- that try as
we might, we are not going to be able to cling to doing things as we
know them. The world is going to change and we, perhaps, are going to
have to make wholesale changes to adapt. Even if you're elegant and
creative about it, you can only dodge bullets for so long before you
realize you're real tired of getting shot at. I don't know enough
about the inner workings of RF technology to elaborate further on the
other poster's idea that high-fidelity and digital audio might be
carried successfully via shared spectrum usage, but I think he/she's
got a point, along with the points you make about the many other needs
for live wireless outside of film dialogue recording, that shows we may
have to think even further outside the box with regards to new
technology and new ways to solve the problem. Perhaps now that the
discussion has finally ceased being a somewhat contentious argument
over a particular manufacturer's product, the newsgroup's resident RF
experts (eg Larry Fisher) will come out of the woodwork and expand on
possibilities or lack thereof.
