Cordless phone with good range

[DieselPower]

Hmm, I just checked ebay and it looks like these "long range" phones would be quite illegal in the US. They operate in the 230 Mhz range. Also, note the guarentee line in this listing. I really don't need the FCC rapping on my door.

"GURANTEE

I will guarantee the auction item for 7 days from the date you receive it. If you are not completely satisfied, simply return the item and your money will be refunded less 20% restocking fee (shipping & handling charges and insurance are non-refundable). The above guarantee does not apply if the phone is not legal in your country because it is your responsibility to find out before bidding!"

I like the part where they charge you 1 cent for the phone and $138 for shipping and claim that you can return it under guarantee for a total refund (1 cent) minus the $138 shipping charges.
PS. They also charge a 20% restocking charge. I wonder how they keep 20% of your penny?

I'm not sure if there is a phone for residential use made with a technology call "Spread Spectrum". Uniden makes them for telecom mfgr's that for business use (3300 feet). That is the technology to look for, for increased distance (actually not the full intent of SS, just a benefit).
Home use with Spread Spec. may not be designed same as biz use. No way to know if a neighbor will have same. But I am just guessing about that. You might try to find a telecom interconnect (a Key System/PBX dealer) in your area and ask them to sell you a cordless for analog line use with SS.
