A watch-it on 5.8GHz wireless systems Print view POST A REPLY 2 posts • Page 1 of 1 A watch-it on 5.8GHz wireless systems by Wonks » Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:07 am Whilst perusing Amazon for guitar-related items, I noticed that I was being proffered ads for 5.8GHz wireless guitar systems (other types of wireless systems are also available). These just seem to be simple frequency variations on 2.4GHz and 5GHz systems already available. e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEKATO-Wireles ... nts&sr=1-8 However, there is no warning in these ads that unlike 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands, that in the UK the 5.8GHz band isn't license free. It's lightly regulated by Ofcom, basically to keep track of what's where and hopefully avoid band overload in the future, but it still legally requires you to buy a license and register the device with Ofcom (all a fairly painless on-line procedure). https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-li ... ess-access The band is really designed for fixed devices to communicate wirelessly, such as CCTV cameras, so is not really meant to be used for devices that can move geographically, though I doubt a single unit will break the system. But as such, whilst licenses are only £1 each (so it doesn't cost too much to register all the CCTV cameras in an office building), there is a minimum charge of £50, renewable annually (spellcheck suggested 'anally', which would be even more of a PITA). So buying one of these devices isn't a cheap proposition, plus the fact that you'll be using it as a 'secondary' user, so may get disruption from the primary users of the band, using much more powerful transmitters. And if you don't get a license, you'll be breaking the law. didnt notice before but if that article is correct its to be renewed annually

does the licence for 5.8 ghz have to be renewed every year ?

if it does turn out to be an own goal ,,,,,,maybe we'ill find out they got Gerald Ratner to think of the ad www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKtBkVrqYYk

😁 apart from Grav of course 😁

well having listened to that ( well maybe 30 seconds of that ) i think i'll rush out later and get their 1990 release of William Bennett Is My D1ck ,,,oh and while i'm there i might as well get the More stinky poo E.P. (1992) NOT. 🤢

another one joining the great band in the sky.

this one looks good ,,,so ,im going with this one.

GOTOH pronounced ...go--toe got-o or a.n.other ? please.... i woz just wondering ...thanks

yes it has thanks ,,,,,,, QC does seem to come up now and again ,it almost seems like a lucky dip when buying anything theses days ( and probably all the days that have gone before as well ) thanks again for all the replies .

yes the jazz. so is that pretty much all the difference is, the position of the pups ? ,so in the real world not that much,,,ok thanks for the replies.,,,,

yes was certainly looking at the current line up,,,so quality might be an issue..thanks for that .

why cant people spell squier ? right now ive got that out the way ,,,,,,,,,,, can anyone tell me the difference between the squier cv 60's and the cv 70's please ? and any thoughts on either are most welcome thank you .

ive just realised im Bolivian

and its got two pickups,,,,,,,where the other one then ?

if using an inverter you'll probably need a pure sine wave inverter ,,,,,as opposed to a modified wave , then you need to know how much power it pulls ( how many watts ) then you should know if its going to be up to the job ,,,as an example ,ashdown told me their 30 watt(thats 30 watt output not how much it pulls ) little stubby pulls 300 w,,,,,so might need a fairly high output inverter to make it work

please bear with me ive only been into this moosic m'larky for a short time,,,,,so mr Seal goes up to girlie busker says ere let me av a go ( or she says ere mate come an av a go ) and he plays as a lefty,,,so was it strung for the girl who was playing it right handed or is mr Seal very clever playing it upside down ? maybe he learnt guitar that way to start with ? it looks to be strung right handed

uriah heep live 73 Gary Thain ,,,sadly another one who joined the 27 club
