They may have been putting you off due to the FCC frequency reassignment for wireless systems? If you're sure it's the switch and are interested in getting it fixed I'd recommend trying a handy/capable friend or a local electronics repair shop instead. You may end up with antenna-toting folks at your door someday, however...

I've been very happy with my PGX-D setup for a couple of years now (PGX-D2 handheld with Beta 58A capsule and a PGX-D4 base station). I use rechargeable low self-drain NiMH AA cells (I find the IKEA LADDA 2450 to be great at the price) and they last well.

Hi,
I need some advice. My wireless mic (Shure PGx2) has finally died - a problem with the on/off switch. I sent it to Shure but they said it was was too old to repair. Rather than buying through a cheap online site like I did last time, which might be why it seems to have broken and gone out of date so quickly, I went to the Shure website to look at new ones. Two that seem to look a lot like my old one are below. Can anyone recommend which might be better for calling, or another handheld wireless mic that you’d recommend more?
