The government is actually going to be cracking down on users in that range. If your wireless mic is more than a few years old, you need to check out this list. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones/manufacturers.html The list includes some very popular mics, and I know I used quite a few of them over the years.
