Dumb wireless mic/instrument question

I have had a wireless instrument setup once upon a time. Basically, here is the deal. I setup my sound equipment for parties where I work...and I have always just used a wired mic for speeches, etc. I was thinking of going wireless.....so my question...is there a wireless instrument module that I could plug a mic in to as well? Not at the same time....just so I could have a wireless for a mic when I am not playing music...and then use the same unit for when I am playing music? I would never need the mic and instrument wireless at the same time.

Might be a dumb question....just thought I would ask.

I saw something like this:
Invalid Link Removed

I was hoping I could buy just the wireless mic at first and then add on the instrument pack later....they do sell them separate, but the only way is to have 2 of the receivers I think?
 
Some are interchangeable. My AudioTechnica system is. I have a headset mic as well as an instrument cable that both plug into the bodypack. You have to switch the mode on the unit. I have a Samson unit that can do it as well. The mic comes with a transmitter built in. Just match it to the freq. of the receiver.
 
My AT model is an older discontinued one. The Samson I have is a Stage 55. What I did was, I had already had the Stage 55 Instrument system. Since I wasn't using it for instrument, I bought the wireless mic (must match the Channel of the receiver). In my case, Channel 19. I bought it separately from Invalid Link Removed. The channel also matches the receiver operating frequency.
