This is not an endorsement on any phone. I believe the ones in the gega hertz range do work better. Now one thing you might try before investing in another phone is to get some insulated wire. Even the old enameled wire will work, doorbell or zip cord. String a length of it probably best if you can get at least 50 foot of it outside. Then at the phone strip the insulation off the wire and wrap at least four or five turns around the antenna. Hopefully the antenna is metal. So give that a try. cheaper than a new phone if you have a chunk of wire laying around.

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]
