We have been having odd glitches and interference when running to MDR's close togeather, ie; A & B cameras side by side shooting coverage down the line, spoke to Howard who passed on this table that could be of use to others see attached.

Yeah, thanks.

 

I clicked on the linked file and appears to be truncated after channel 29. I'm a bit confused, I swear my MDR has channels well into the 40s? Maybe it's safari acting up? On the PDF I get 0 thru 29, then the column lines continue a bit but are cut off. Any chance you can check the original file or upload it again? Or is this something HU3 specific?

no error. the channels repeat after channel 29. So channel 30 is the same as Zero.

Gerry,

 

Thanks for posting this. Very timely. We were having an issue with this on Tuesday (the day you posted). I'd never experienced it before and we weren't sure what was up. We had A and B cameras mounted on an insert car, both with Prestons. The channels weren't interfering with each other (we've been using the same channels all show in close proximity), but there was another shoot close by. My MDR was having intermittent problems during set-up. When searching for free channels on the HU-3, we could see which channels were being used. None of the channels being used were the ones we were on so we figured we were okay. When we pulled out on the road (and away from the other company) the problem went away. After seeing your post that night and printing out the chart to show to my A.C., the channel being used by the other company was not compatable with the channel my MDR/HU-3 was set to. It's comforting to know the problem isn't with the gear. I'll make sure to keep a copy of the chart in my Preston case. Thank you again for posting.
