A few days ago I spotted two V75 units (used) on GC's website for $299 each. Receiver and HH mic.

Well I did purchase the shure, what a pleasant surprise this weekend was. The male lead purchased a head worn sennhieser g3 moving up from a pg head worn. Female lead was on the ulx. Drummer was on heil pr 35. Every member of the band came up and commented on how wonderful the ears sounded. FOH sounded great, with almost no work. Thanks for the responses. I think next time I'll watch for a sale on the line 6 and pick up one of those. This purchase was made hastily.

It isn't the ULX, I suspect it is the band you chose. They come in several models (J,M,G?). Any wireless will have problems if the chosen units are in a crowded band.

That was my point. I am likely to never use UHF band gear again. I run a lot of other people stuff and I don't often get a choice on the bands ( J,G,M etc. ) and am stuck with what they give me. It seems that the companies ( that I have worked for ) don't look ahead and rent gear from other vendors to alleviate potential RF band issues. They book the gig and use what they have simply cause they assume not rent from another vendor. It seems that the space is getting smaller and smaller. But the ULX for me has shown to be more susceptible to the lack of it than other brands. My experience with the new digital stuff has been that it is plug and play. I would take a ULXD no problem.

Where else but UHF are you going?
I have some VHF gear that never has a problem.
2.4gHz is already over run by unregulated use. I won't use it for anything if I can.

There is another thread here about wifi issues.

I'm sure that soon enough the 2.4ghz issues will non existent? I have had no such issues with it myself. Shure' higher end UHF-R model stuff is rock solid as well as anything Sennheiser. But I don't own any and I don't desire to either. I can say that there is a distinct and noticeable difference between the new " digital " stuff vs. the standard UHF ( ULX/G3 and the like ) stuff available. Keep in mind I'm comparing the middle of the road contenders here, not the top of the line models. The higher end stuff has less noticeable compression and companding and are of course very stable. The middle of the road " digital " ( 2.4ghz ) stuff is basically has full dynamics to the degree where you would be hard pressed to tell it from a wired mic and although it works in the 2.4ghz arena, seems to very stable and problem free.

In short to your question, I will probably only be purchasing the newer "digital " offerings of the different brands. The Line 6 units work very well and I have heard good things as well about the new ULX-D series from Shure. I believe Sennheiser also has a " digital " model out, but I have not looked it up?
