Not in my experience, not unless the transmitting or receiving antennas are
moving around.

What frequencies are you using? How much power are you using in the
transmitter? How far away is the transmitter from the receiver? And what
kind of equipment are you using? If I knew those answers, I could give you
some specific information.

You'd find more answers on the Usenet group rec.arts.movies.production.sound,
from the guys who use wireless mikes for feature films, TV shows and
documentaries. You can also get some free information from Lectrosonics'
website at www.lectrosonics.com. Lectro has a good (and free) 66-page
booklet on how to set up and use wireless mikes, available here:
