Not that we didn't think about it... but the wireless mic is wide-band fm whereas the repeater is a typical communications audio more narrow band operation. So they really wouldn't be able to hear our radio transmissions that well/loud.
The owner of the Karaoke system has about 5 to 7 mics he rotates through people standing in line to sing (a scary thought unto itself). When the 222 MHz mic was unused he would set it on the table and we were able to hear everything going on in the bar as long as the audio didn't get too loud and pop out of the repeater receiver IF Bandwidth. So a friend and I df'd the problem to a bar... After a big of introduction and soft politics I encouraged the operator to mark and avoid using the 222 MHz micrphone by demo'ing how his equipment responded very poorly to my in hand 222 Icom HT transmissions. I mentioned that his simply not using the 222 MHz mic would more prudent than hearing some packet sounding test tones through his equipment during working/show hours. To be a nice guy I even offered to re-crystal his mic and receiver (at my cost) and handed him my card before leaving. So far the problem hasn't returned. cheers, s. > "Steve Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Key up on the frequency of the mike and loudly say "This > is the devil, I hear you and I am coming....." > >> Number two in the hit-parade is the Karaoke Mics that pop up on >> the input to some repeaters...
