Default wireless headsets

one quick questions some of you may be able to answer. if I ordered 2 of these eartec wireless packages (24G 4 Man CT) would all 8 of the headsets work together?

Anyone have experience with these systems? Seems like a potentially low cost alternative to a wireless clear-com.....if the quality is good enough.

Yes I'm intrigued as well. I like the idea of some of their other products - to tie wireless into a venue's existing wired system. I fear someone is probably going to tell us that these products are just junk though. Otherwise, it looks promising for a low cost solution.

Re: the OP's questions - I'm guessing as listed, two packages would NOT allow you to use all 8 on the same channel. But it sounds like if you asked, they would customize it so it will. That's just a guess/hunch; no indications of what frequencies they work on.

hmmmm....i would seriously consider buying these if someone said they are decent...at the moment we are using 2 way walkie talkies and headsets, so when someone says something you hear "ahdfqrh;ljenakjlhjfddnskjhkfj;iflahsjn". so when my spot ops say something i just walk out the door and ask them what they asked. the garble on headset is my indicator that they need me.

From reading their manual, these operate @ 2.4 ghz.

1 station is "Master", all others are "slave". Master can talk to all slaves at once but slaves may only talk to master, so it's not quite as flexible as a walkie-talkie. You can add more slaves just by changing channels (via dip switches).

From what this company offers you'd probably want the PCx line, but those are $500 per station + cost of headset.

New? What's so new about a 2.4ghz cordless phone? And don't forget some wireless networking uses that spectrum too!
