Just note that the Lectro compatibility is with the original Hidyne compander, not the newer HDX in the Evolution and 2000 series.

Any idea how badly it will affect the audio? For this application, it's just wide area announcements using Community R series. Are there other modes that might be better?

FWIW,
I have never been able to get satisfactory results when using Lectro TX with other brands' RX. Although the RF performance was rock solid, I could always hear a little compander weirdness.

However, using the IFB TX with a 400 series RX works beautifully.

On a regulatory note, you must have a BAS-LP license to use the Lectro IFB TX, since it's a 250mW device, and its use as a point-to-point link is not quite authorized by the typical license.

Which i believe makes it incompatible with all the usual Sennheiser IEM receivers we encounter.  i.e. the typical G2 and G3 receivers are both Evolution series IIRC.

In other news, what is IFBT4's Mode 6 compatible with?  Can't seem to find the answer online.

It's not about using IEM receivers with the Lectro transmitter, it's about using wireless mic receivers with the Lectro.

True.  I lost sight of the OP's original question.  I would more often be using these with belt pack receivers.  In fact, i'm doing that right now...

Tested the system out today, works great! Thanks Mac! The real test will be Saturday. Tested the range at a local race track, looks like 1000' easy.
For what we are doing, didn't notice much difference between MODE 3 and MODE 6 with the Sennheiser receivers. Maybe for something more critical it would be an issue, but not for this. 

Thanks again!

Mac, Thanks again for pointing me to the Lectrosonics IFB unit. Used it all day yesterday, no hiccups, got complements on the sound and the coverage. Exceeded my expectations. A big thank you! I already have other uses planned.
