Sennheiser radio microphone system - change frequency ?
I have an EW100 G2 system with beltpack transmitter, but it has not been used for 5 years. I've been told the 83-86Mhz range is no longer used for wireless systems, so that if I use it, it may suffer from interference.
Could the crystals be changed so the system operates on a lower frequency ? I could do it myself, but if a radio repair shop did it, what would it cost ?
Lee, I followed your Amazon link and they offer a new system for over $2,000. Not very cheap.
SORRY - frequency 860 not 86Mhz
I have been told I can use my system set to "pilot" and it should not suffer interference, but it is still illegal.

years ago, many dealers sold radio mics to users who didn't understand it was not legal for their purposes without obtaining and being qualified to receive a license. because of recent government crack downs that practice has stopped. because of that, i don't recommend buying them used or off eBay unless you are very clear as to which models are legal for your use. talk to a local dealer, they should be aware of your needs, you are not the only one that faces this problem.

Most likely, your old system would be illegal to use today.
Modifying it is probably impossible, and even if it is possible
it would cost far more than it would be worth.
Replace the system with a modern one that uses currently authorized frequencies.
The old system's transmitters should be rendered both incapable of transmitting
and impossible to be restored to operating condition.
Breaking their circuit boards into small pieces would do it.
Otherwise, take them to an electronic recycling center.
