With the possible exception of TV reception hardware,
Jaycar Electronics have never been really big in radio frequency (RF) spectrum equipment. However, their first foray into radio (wireless) microphones is certain to set the proverbial feline amongst the grey winged creatures . . .

The first thing we noticed about the new "Digitech" Wireless Microphone range from Jaycar was the prices. "Surely there is some mistake," we thought. "A complete wireless mic system for not much more than others charge for the microphone alone?"

No, Jaycar assured us. The prices were correct.

"So are they toys?" we asked? (Yes, we’ve seen some of the junk being flogged on eBay and at the markets).

"Most definitely not – they’re professional UHF systems. Would you like to have a look at one?"

So it was that a day or so later not one but two of the three Digitech wireless microphone systems arrived at SILICON CHIP (the missing one was already out of stock!).
