If your distance is only 300', and unless there are extenuating circumstances (going across a river or deep ravine, significant crowds with no safe cable path), you'll be far better off running two balanced pairs; it'll be less expensive and almost always far more reliable.

That said, if the feed is critical, using higher end equipment will provide the level of performance and reliability needed:
Lectrosonics IFBT-4 transmitters (in 400 series mode) along with any 400 series receivers; or
Shure PSM900 or 1000 in PtP mode and UHF-R receiver (or Axient set to UHF-R mode).
Use an appropriate antenna (omni or directional) for the TX, and passive high gain directionals for the RX, along with low loss coax.

Thanks - I would vastly prefer investing in more cable ramp and running copper.  The 'need' however is customer driven.  I've tried pushing rope before...

Appears to be in the FCC no-go band from what I can tell.

The item is on the July 2017 dealer price list, for what that's worth.  I would assume (and I know what assumptions get you) that they are now in a approved band.  They did have 600MHz product.

The Xirium Pro system is - like all things Neutrik - superb.

Another higher-end option are the Airnetix units.

http://airnetix.com/arx910.html

We have three of the ARX910 units and have been really pleased with their performance.  They have some cool features like multi-hop capability, built in audio delay, they're weatherproof, you can hook up external antennas to them, remote monitoring via a PC, etc.

Plus Mike, the owner of the company is a super nice guy and very helpful.

Just another option.

Regards,
Brian

Before I do the Really Big Happy Dance on my desk, can you give a rough estimate of pricing?

I have a couple of things these would be perfect for.

Brian, thanks for this info.  This is a product I was unaware of and looks very interesting.

I looked at these a year or so back and concluded that while amazing I didn’t see the ROI in my market.  I do love it out here in the sticks but there are economic realities to be faced...

Tim,

MAP on a ‘starter kit’ which includes three ‘nodes’ that can be used as either transmitter, receiver or both (in the case of hopping), mounts plus a breakout box that allows power, audio and computer control to be sent to the transmitter over shielded cat 5 (handy if you’re putting the transmitter high up on a stage or truss) is $3,200.  Not cheap, but not much more than a high end IEM solution with that flexibility and this is purpose built.

I have used a Senny G3 IEM transmitter with paddles, to two remotes with regular Mic receivers, across a high school quad 200-300 ft. 
Worked flawlessly.(In fact one vendor kept unplugging the speaker because he set up too close.)
The speakers were up 8-10 ft, so there was direct line of sight.

I just used a Sennheiser G2 IEM transmitter to a G2 receiver for a right at 1600 foot wireless link. This was outdoors, paddle antennas up high at both ends, line of sight. The RF meter on the receiver was hovering around 25 to 30.
