UHF wireless, offering clear-channel, frequency-agile operation on the UHF band for
interference-free performance in any application or locale. The UWS-100 delivers 100
user-selectable channels, frequency synthesized in 00-99 channels in the US frequency
band 667MHz-697MHz. The built-in Autoscan feature offers a quick and convenient way
to select an open channel for single system use or to set up many wireless systems at the
same location for simultaneous multichannel operation. The UWS-100 features proprietary
companding and low-noise circuitry for an industry-best 120dB dynamic range, and the
clearest, most natural sound available in wireless today
