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.

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.

This is exactly what we needed for emergency use and keeping in touch around the farm. The handhelds and base communicate well over hills and through brush all over this place for the desired 3/4 mile at least and more from the hilltops. We checked it around the road ridge to ridge and it works at least 2 miles - all without additional antennas. The CTCSS "party line" squelch assures that other traffic will seldom if ever be heard. I do not miss the squeals, howls, and hoots, from as far away as the Ohio Valley, that ruined the 11 meter citizens band. This is useful.

I have two of these Dakota Alert base units at our ranch in rural East Texas, with one at my house and another at our daughter's house about 500 feet away. We also installed one of the Dakota Alert infrared driveway alarm transmitters on the lane leading to her house. The system has good range and provides a dependable intercom system between the two houses.

We use these as intercoms between the front and back of our photo studio (100'). Plug 'em in and turn 'em on. Excellent sound quality. Well made and should last a long time. Fulfills our simple needs.

All the functions work well. Does its job. loud as I wanted.

No complaints so far. I would recommand it.

I have owned a few different driveway alarms and this one works consistently. The signal is traveling a distance of about 1000 yards. I am still trying to figure out how to hook a lamp or light to it so it will come on when triggered.
