Strange for me to ask such a question but I've simply got
no direct experience of this end of the market.

My brother is an elder of the kirk and they need a
replacement body pack radio mic. Just for the minister.
These days they wander round the kirk rather than
remaining in the pulpit. ;-) One which you popped into a
charger after use would be ideal - it's only used perhaps
three times a week for about 2 hours each time, and
finding someone with reasonable skills to change
batteries on a regular basis isn't that easy. A separate
charger would be better than one in the receiver.
It also needs to have a convenient way of the minister
being able to mute it for hymns - for obvious reasons.
Although I'm willing to modify it for that if it isn't
possible. The current one he switches off which isn't
ideal. Although might be ok when moving to the correct
frequency. The current one is VHF.

Wireless microphones?

Major sources are Shure, Sennheiser, and Audio Technica. Over there, AKG has
more of a presence than here.

I won't hazard a guess as to which is the best, but they are all entirely
servicable.

I believe that AKG recently announced a reasonbly-priced unit with an
alleged CD-quality digital link.

The last set I purchased for my church was a Shure SLX system which we use
with a Countryman E6 microphone.
