of changing the operating frequency in order to avoid RF interference, enabling up to 108
systems to operate simultaneously in the same location. Preconfigured group, channel and
frequency setups shall be available to ensure that multiple systems in use do not interfere
with one another.

All transmitters shall be powered by 2 AA batteries and shall have a power on/off switch. The
bodypack will have an LED indicating that power is on. Available transmitters shall include: a
body pack for use with electric guitars, basses, and other electric instruments, and a hand­held microphone for vocals. The transmitters shall have a DC/DC converter to ensure consis­tent performance, even if battery voltages change.

The receiver shall have a user-programmable, menu-driven LCD showing group, channel,
frequency, name, squelch level, and locked/unlocked status. The system shall use technol­ogy such as MARCAD® signal combining circuitry to improve reception, minimize signal
dropouts, and achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. An equalizer, tone key squelch,
and noise squelch circuitry shall be built into the system to provide optimal sound quality and
minimize unwanted noise. The receiver shall include dual RF meters (one for each antenna),
an audio level meter, and a Networking Interface rconnector for computer control and moni­toring. The receiver shall have a volume control and an adjustable noise squelch control.
