Designed for simultaneous language interpretation and other business applications, the T18 broadcasts to a variety of Williams Sound personal receivers including the R7, R7-4, R7-6, and R700. Federal regulations call for operators of transmitters such as the T18 to be licensed under Part 90 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
