Channels allow you to work with other photographers or keep your triggering exclusive. Some Channels operate on
different frequencies to help you avoid radio interference. All PocketWizard radios set to the same Channel work
together.
This section has Channel tables for the CE / European frequency radios that operate between 433.62 and 434.22
MHz. If you have FCC frequency radios that operate between 340 and 354 MHz range then visit the FCC Channels
page.
There are two kinds of PocketWizard Channels: Standard Channels and ControlTL Channels.
CE Standard Channels
Standard Channels are used when triggering a Plus series (Plus, Plus II, PlusX or Plus III), MultiMAX or other
PocketWizard radio that performs triggering only and not power control or TTL functions.
CE Standard Channels 1 through 16
Standard Channels 1 through 16 are considered Classic or Legacy Channels and are the most basic PocketWizard
Channels. They are used for simple triggering scenarios, and contain no zones, power control, or TTL functions.
These Channels all exist on the same frequency. Each channel is its own 16-bit digital code on top of that frequency.
The frequency in use for CE radios is 433.62 MHz.
The Plus and Plus II radios use only channels 1 through 4. The PlusX radios use Channels 1 through 10
All other PocketWizard radios use Standard Channels 1 through 16.
