Talking about being considerate, I've often wondered why no one has ever
organized a rock concert in which the band has no P.A. system, but the
microphones for which go to a low-wattage FM transmitter to be picked up
on earphones connected to receivers

I would assume that the answer is "sound fidelity." No sound
system can reproduce exactly. I expect that broadcasting a signal
would add one more layer of distortion to the limits that already exist
for headphones.

....of course, at some rock concerts, fidelity may not be all that
important.... <smirk>
