In Ref to wireless Headsets...I have a logitech wireless headset with boom mike on 900 MHz that works anywhere on my property. Not a big estate HI!!! I can listen and transmit using VOX from anywhere. One line to the headphone jack and one to the mike jack. Works full duplex... About $35 anywhere on Internet. It is called the Logitech Cordless Freedom Headset. It has 20 scanning channels, Base station with rechargeable Batteries, Don't know the cost today as I purchased mine a good 5 years ago and have an extra one still in the box. It says up to 1000 feet but have gone further...

Apparently there is an older 802 type of system being superceded, and the older ones are really cheap. They provide RF coverage, but I'm not sure what would be needed at the other end to obtain the basic receive audio. Same with these "whole house" TV remote control units. They are marketed to people with only one LNB for the rooftop dish, who wish to control the dedicated box's output split across televisions in several locations in the house. Seems that stream, too, could be adapted to carry a basic audio channel. I'm using an old set of infrared headphones that the earpieces wore out on. Took the receiver guts out of the thing, put it all in a pager-sized plastic box that holds a 9V battery and has a headphone jack on it. The transmit end, normally driven by the television's audio output, now is driven by a tap from the mixing console (which, in turn, has receive audio on it). Range is pretty good. I've put the transmitter in a window so it can "see" most of the yard, and it's maybe 100 feet around, more at night. Paul/VJB __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
