Hi guys. I am shooting in downtown LA on Sunday night and I was
wondering if anyone had much experience with UHF there? Is it a
problem? Unfortunately by the time I found out I was going to have to
go wireless it was too late for me to go and rent some nice Lectro's
so I am going to have to use my Sennheiser G2's I am using the 518
range (according to Lectro's chart it is somewhat free of TV stations
in LA) and I plan on using 2 receivers with 1 plug on transmitter.
This way I am sort of creating a sudo diversity system since the G2's
do not over diversity in their small form factor. Is this going to
work ok? I also have a pair of Lectro 187's but no plug on transmitter
or else I would use those since VHF is way less crowded these days...
Any advice would be good. Remember the shoot is tomorrow night and I
have no access to anything else at the moment. Has anyone use G2s
downtown? They have been pretty good to me so far but I'm guessing
downtown is a tough environment.

It would be good to know whether any of the good old VHF range is
actually freeing up now.
Can you obtain a Female 3-pin XLR to TA5F cable? Lectro calls it an
MC40 cable adaptor. Maybe you can borrow one from a very kind Los
Angeles sound guy who might be reading this, since the rental houses
are closed.
Then you could plug a boom mic. such as a Sennheiser MKH416 into your
bodypack-type VHF Lectrosonics transmitter. You would need a power
supply for you microphone. But all this can be rigged pretty nicely
with a boom pole -- all without an actual plug-on transmitter.
