For better or worse, not all wireless mics are affected. You can check to 
see on this url (posted earlier):
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones/manufacturers.html

This is a listing of manufacturers and models involved.

I have an AudioTechnica wireless which operates below the 700 Mhz band and 
so is not, apparently, affected according to the FCC rules. The receiver for 
your wireless unit should say at what band it operates.
