As Senator pointed out, there is a wiring that works ONLY with the servo bias inputs. It is a more simple setup than the compatible wiring, but the one we...
I recently decided to purchase a couple of ALP 650's along with 2 4-way passive splitters, 2 BiasT's, and a couple of UFM 230's (just in case I need to amplify...
(not a very technical issue, but ......) I acquired a UCR211, and the on/off switch is recessed inward, enough that I need to use tweaker to flick on/off. I do...
211's are older units, and sometimes older units develop problems, like the one you describe. you need to get it fixed! Senator Mike Michaels, c.a.s. Studio M...

when the entire transmitting system (including antenna) is enclosed in metal (like inside a car) it will not have the usual range as if it is outside, and if...

... If the transmittters are on the talent's body and they are inside a vehicle, there will be very little RF signal getting out because the car is shielding...
The switch is mounted so the handle is almost flush to reduce the chance of hitting it accidentally, but it appears that yours may have been damaged. Factory...
I am looking to purchase two used pairs of lectrosonics transmitters and recievers. One pair comes with the 401 and the other with the 411. I've heard the 411...
My Lectrosonics T1 transmittter has become very microphonic and is very sensitive to touch using a metal object like a small screwdriver. Sensitive spots...
If you are making a purchase, you should do some research, homework if you will. you can learn the differences between 401's and 411's from the excellent...

Thanks guys, I understand why the RF reception isn't as good -- what I was trying to say is that it was particularly bad on this job -- I've usually been able...
Hey Bruce, Thanks for the reply. Yeah -- I looked at those (the ACOAXTX's), but I still need to get my rx antennas outside the vehicle... so I thought the...
there is a lot of physics in radio issues, but improving the antennae is always helpful; and radio antennae are a huge factor, as well as a huge topic. the...

I'm having trouble with my UCR 100 I use as a spare receiver/IFB. It doesn't want to take iPower 500's batteries... I flip the switch but it just wont start,...
I've heard the used car analogy about buying lectrosonics used however no one has ever qualified that statement. It seems to me, a car has more replacable...

adding to my own post: if there was a "problem" discovered and corrections need to be made, Lectrosonic usually is pretty upfront about it, and will make...

Hi Alan. The gold colored thing is probably a shield. If there is a bad ground connection, touching many internal parts causes an abrupt RF level change, which...
Hi Sergio. I have overheard some discussions recently regarding a "start up" issue with some units using certain iPower batteries. Not sure of the details, but...

Hi Sergio. There have been some power up issues with the iPower batteries and the UH400 plug-on transmitter. The current surge during the power up cycle would...
Hi Alan. According to our service manager, the IFB T1 and T4 transmitters have shown this "microphonic" effect around the shield. Touching anything in that...
... Bruce, Once again thank you and your service manager for your most useful response. I am going to implement your suggestion and will let you know the...
Hey Bruce, I ran a test with all my iPowers and my UCR100. It seems like this power up issue actually happens only with three of them. Apparently they are...

Hi Jim. The MC35 is for line level signals and the MC41 is for mic level. The UM400a input gain adjustment range is 43dB, so I can't imagine you will have any...
