All depends on what wireless mic system you are using, alot of the Sony camera mics are in the 700 mhz range, mine is the senheisser G2 kits and i'm in the 518.mhz range+ and then I guess there is some stuff up in the 900mhz range now....

when you say "hits", unless I can hear it, it is hard to say if perhaps you're mic was just going a touch out of range or perhaps the signal was multipathing which at such low power than these units run it actually happens.

if a robot or other radio keyed up on you're mic freq you should have been knocked off the air good! not just hits here and there

another wireless mic can also knock you off the air. I use this site in canada to look up frequencies http://sd.ic.gc.ca/pls/eng_alpha/web...see_name_input

you might have a similar site in the states with the FCC, Industry Canada is our version of the FCC.
