Phil,
Like I said, last time we were there we took our own illegal wirelesses 
& had no problem. And the Shure rep that you turned me on to made it 
clear that Shure has not had their frequencies cleared by the 
AUTHORITIES THAT BE.

I will also mention that the AC converters that were provided the last 
time we were there were 2 prong (no ground pin). When I turned on the 
converter, I heard a LOUD BANG (like a firecracker) because one of our 
wirelesses had Power Switch turned ON. It fried the XLR out on that 
wireless. No SPIT!

I connected a 3-prong adapter w/ the ground pin hard wired to a water 
pipe for the ground pin.

After that, for the wireless mentioned, we had to use the 1/4" out w/ a 
direct box. That is now one of our spares. Now we use the AT 40000 
series systems.

Illegal? The AT wirelesses have a scan mode that looks for frequencies 
that are not used (when they are set up). And the transmitter only 
transmit for 100 yards (meters).

Soooooo... Let us pray......
It is what it is.
