I've got the Zaxcom ENG link system, and I think the filter antenna is
a must if you have non Zaxcom receivers in your bag. I had Lectro
201's in block 22, 25 and 27, and my block 21 Zaxcom transmitter showed
up across the entire block on all three while scanning. Once I
attached the filter the RF level from Zaxcom disappeared on the
Lectro's.
Frankly I'd recommend having at least two blocks between a Zaxcom link
and any receiver even with the filter. When I upgraded to 411's
recently I dropped block 22 out of concern the Zaxcom could still get
into it.
BTW, I've had the Zaxcom link for 8 months, and it has been rock solid.
Not one problem. First time I've every felt really confident in my
camera-audio bag link.

Fred Schuh
