At least to my knowledge. With only a wire Jpole antenna ( Thats inside) I have spoken to friends over seven miles away clearly!

Now Remember I am higher then they are, Much higher. I ordered a 5/8's wave antenna for the roof. This should give me much greater range . I love these simple to use transmitters and plan on buying two HT's when I have the extra cash. Even my 3 year old neice has figured out how to answer me when away from home. So I am betting the wife can also :)

My wife uses this product to communicate with her mother who is a diabetic.
Her mothers house is about 350 feet from our house and the communication is
clear as a bell without any interference.

Just remember both units have to be on the same channel and mode and would suggest
using a surge protector if used in an older house.

I had to send back one of the units but customer service was really good
and a replacement was sent in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely
recommend this product.

We have been using this product for nearly a year and have not had any trouble
with the two units.

4.0 out of 5 stars These really work well, BUT!, January 9, 2008

The intercom works great and the intercom units also work great with the long range Dakota Alert that I bought for my driveway.
I was so impressed that I also purchased an extra alert transmitter to work in conjunction with the three intercom units I now have.
GUESS WHAT?
The shorter range alert transmitters look the same but don't operate on the MURS Channels.
So I now have an alert transmitter that transmits on UHF while all of my intercom units and my existing long range alert transmitter work on VHF channels.
What is even more confusing is that the Amazon adds refer to both sensors as WMT3000 transmitter units and tells you that you can add any number of transmitters and receivers to your system. This is only true if the
Description says "MURS".

It's unfortunate but the operating channels and any other meaningful specifications seem to be omitted for these types of products on the Amazon pages.
Otherwise, Great units but be careful when you are building your system.
