Re-tuning AKG wireless handheld transmitter

[swpeters57]

We've got a couple of AKG transmitters 6-8 years old for use in our church. Is it possible to re-tune these mics to operate outside of the prohibited band width of 698 MHz - 806 MHz which is used by public safety services?

AKG model HT 40 (not Pro or Flexx) spec says range of 710 - 865 MHz, factory setting is 710.400 MHz

AKG model HT DW1000, spec range is same as abovefactory setting is 750.900 MHz

My friend, Mike Mason's (see: Mason Sound on the web), pro sound touring company (true PRO, not suppliers of pa's to bar bands, dj's, school dances, etc.) had to replace all of their "old" wireless systems with new regulation compliant systems. This assures compliance in all parts of North America.

As for you question, the very best source for an answer is AKG. They 'know' AKG products better than anyone on this forum.

Please don't infer this answer as "the easy way out". It'll get you the exact info you need in the shortest amount of time without answers that include; "I heard", "I thought", "Somebody told me", "In my opinion", etc.

Best of luck (-:

Most of the major mic brands I've seen offer a discount for trading up to the new FCC compliant wireless mics.
