[!@#$%!]

oh man-- yeah last time i was looking at an 800mhz which is pretty good because it's a low-population spectrum. 900mhz and 2.4ghz are kinda crowded and you get interference.

oh i'll look into the sennys & do some price checks.

i'm looking to spend $2000 total for interview gear, $1200 is already taken up by the recorder... an aussie dollar is like .83 us dollars so it's pretty close...

i always wire the subject with 2 mics, 1 lav and 1 shotgun in case there is noise on the lav (people rubbing their clothes, etc) or fuckups like broken xlr cables (it's happened), or radio interference, i always have the shotgun to fall back on.
