Autoscan, 1440 frequencies, metal construction. See below for channel frequencies.

Simply the best, most affordable way to get professional caliber UHF wireless! Sennheiser's original evolution series introduced startling new technology and innovative design. Now, they're again pushing the limits of performance, audio quality, ruggedness and ease of use. With redesigned features such as much smaller body packs, larger backlit LCD displays, AutoScan function on all receivers, 36MHz switching bandwidth, and more, evolution G2 is today's most advanced, best sounding, easy-to-use, road-worthy wireless system. The amazing 100 Series offers 4 switchable presets (reprogrammable to any of 1,440 available frequencies), a true diversity, and - unlike other wireless systems at this price - metal construction that will stand up to the rigors of life on the road. The system features variable-level 1/4 in. TRS and XLR balanced connectors.

"The best all-round wireless unit I've used."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
ONE issue - the "pilot" frequency can fool itself and cancel if the reciever antennas are too close together in a rack. This pilot freq is the "auto hush" circuit that keeps an unused transmitter church quiet when the guitar is not transmitting. Watch your antenna placement (relative to each other), and all is well. Senn gents - please update your manual - this is important for frustrated non-techies.
Sound
Clear, no drop outs. Good range.
Features
Autoscan frequencies, or manual select. AA Batteries last a long time, and rechargeables last quite long, too.
Quality
Robust. Metal. Short, though antenna. Metal 1/8" plug with retaining screw ring to set guitar cord to transmitter pack (solid). Perfect record in live use from our last tour. Clear. Range. Long battery life. Kiss your 9 volt pile goodbye.
Value
You get what you pay for. Not the least expensive, but (nearly) flawless in on stage use. See "pilot freq." notes below. My next wireless will be other units like this.
Manufacturer Support
On this unit, support not used, but on previous Senn unit the support was iffy on a tough technical issue - no one had an answer, no further help was offered. No complaints on the use of the unit - this is the third Senn unit used, all have been as advertised.
The Wow Factor
Very good ergonomics / use / size. The best wireless unit I've used.
