I have used that combination.
If you use a compressor with light/med compression it works very well.

Answer:Â

If you are speaking about the FCC 700MHz ruling, this system is NOT effected by it. Additionally, the System 8 is uses frequencies that the FCC has designated as "Traveling [VHF] Frequencies", which are completely fine to use. If you have any further questions, please see the below:

Answer:Â

System 8 is a fixed frequency system, so the frequency cannot be changed. The only way this could be resolve is if one of you exchanges your system for a System 8 that is on another frequency. There are only 3 frequencies available for this system, but again, they are all fixed and unchangeable.
