I have a Samson wireless headset mic that we use for vocals. It is used both at church and as part of a local band.
When we use it with the band, and play various places, all goes well. When we use it at church, we are getting some of what sounds like drop outs. In each case, the receiver and transmitter are less than 15 feet apart and in line of sight.
At church the receiver is rack mounted, and is near a vareity of other gear including two power amps, mixers, and a 12 space guitar rack. There are also something like 8 other wireless mic units there as well.
Any ideas on what might be causing the interference? This is a diversity VHF unit from Samson.

) Any less could indeed cause dropouts or reduce range. Try getting the antenna away from that other stuff. Your unit may have an available option to break the antenna away from the box. Also check the area around the performer for large flat metal surfaces, beams, ducts, etc, as you could be losing RF energy from reflections at the transmitter or the receiver. Worst case, and most common, at both. Make sure the antenna is at the correct length. The manual should tell you how far to extend it for a given channel. If not, make sure it is fully extended.
