I discovered the solution by accident but it works. The problem, as several posters have noted, is interaction of the signal with the body, which makes pants pockets a terrible place to park your rig.

Occasionally there's a syncing problem with the transmitter and receiver that will also result in annoying skipping. The solution? Power down the transmitter and start it back up for a re-sync. Takes only a few seconds and always fixes the problem.
I was one of the first advocates of Sleek in the past, and I still do, but for the IEMs alone. Sorry but I have not seen any improvement on the comments and opinions other members have posted about this wireless feature, and as a result, unless things change dramatically in our favor, I do not see myself getting it neither.

IMO to work around a problem is in no way a help to the cause, the solution is not to find a way of working around the problems, rather than contact them, with our concerns, and have them fix the problems...If you keep on working around them, they will have no reason to fix what is not working properly in that system...I do not say that is their fault, as maybe it was not even designed by them, just under their specs by a third party, but they should try and IMO eventually fix it, and offer a product with no problems at all...Just my two cents...

Honestly if you are not moving around, and if you are seated in a plain, I see no reason to use a wireless that on top have problems, a cable will be a lot more practical, I use to fly as well and I never had any problems with any cable...

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you certainly know how the recording is supposed to sound? Sorry, but for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and enjoy the music instead!!!
