How does the 700 MHz ban impact you? Here's a quick primer:
The order impacts the use of wireless microphones that operate in the 700 MHz band. These mics were originally designed to use frequencies in between those used by television stations (channels 52-69) to broadcast TV shows. But after last year's DTV switch, TV broadcasters no longer use the frequencies between 698 and 806 MHz (the 700 MHz band).
Wireless mics that operate in this band can interfere with public safety (e.g., police and fire) and wireless consumer services. The ban begins on June 12, 2010. You can continue to use wireless mics that work on other frequencies, however. Corded mics aren't affected by the FCC order.
