Often it is the brand of phone too. But the higher you go in frequency numbers the clearer it is supposed to be. The old standard used to be 900 MHz. I haven't looked in a while but last time I bought a phone I remember seeing a 5.4 GHz or something like that. I didn't spend the money on it so I can't say how well it works. We have an AM radio tower in the lot joining our back yard. You can talk to someone on the phone and listen to a football game at the same time... ----- Original Message ----- From: robert moore To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 9:55 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] advice on cordless phones
One thing you could try is to put the base in the part of the house that is closest to your shop. At least as much as is practicle. The less obstruction you have the better. As for the type of phone I don't know. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of GLENN PERMAR Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] advice on cordless phones We have a cordless phone that works fine in the house but if I take it out to the storage room or work shop or a short distance from the house it has terrible reception and a lot of static. If anyone has any ideas on which phones have the best reception for the longest distances I would appreciate hearing from you.

I decided to go with a propane heater and I picked one up at a reasonable price on eBay. It's a 20K unit and I've got it connected to a 20 pound tank. It's out in my two-car garage and it does a great job of keeping the entire garage quite warm. Again, thanks for everyone's advice. It helped a great deal in the final decision. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
