What's the best baby monitor? I have trouble with static.?

Q. We have the AngelCare monitor, but when it is on, we get terrible static. It may be interference with some Plantronics 900 mghz headseat phones we need for work. Is there a brand that works on a different frequency?

A. We use a 5.8ghz cordless phone rather then a baby monitor. It doesn't have the same problems that a baby monitor would since it's on a different frequency. Great reception, only problem is we can't use the telephone while monitoring.


do wireless landlines pick up yours or your neighbors phone conversation?
Q. i dont have unlimted minutes on my cell phone.my parents believe that if you have a wireless your neighbors could listen to the conversation know i cant talk on the phone while on the computer or go to my room im going to show my parents the anwsers please help convince them that a wireless land line is better

A. the first cordless phones operated around 48Mhz as well as baby monitors and the like...and were easy for people to listen in on your conversations.. it was not uncommon for a baby monitor to pick up your conversation, or for 2 cordless phones to hear each other....

the 900 Mhz phones solved some of those problems... but people with radio scanners (police scanners) could still listen in on your calls...

DSS technology stopped that... and many newer 900 Mhz phones come with DSS...

also most 2.4Ghz phones have DSS or FHSS, aside from that, most radio scanner equiptment only goes up to 1.3Ghz - however these phones may interfere with WiFi

5.8Ghz phones also normally come with DSS or FHSS... and again are outside the range of most radio scanners.... however, because they are a higher frequency the range is less...

DECT phones operate within the 1.9Ghz range, are immune to interference from other devices, and provide the best range, clarity, and security...

so the only way that a neighbor can listen in to your conversation with a cordless phone that you purchace today would be if you bought a 900Mhz phone that did not have DSS....


Is there a durable portable phone for a handicapped person who drops things?
Q.

A. get a phone with a belt-clip...its small enough so it wont bother you, and you can keep it with you all the time!

Long range cordless home phone?
Q. I used to have a 900mhz phone that had a range of several hundred feet. Now that it has dies though I have not been able to find another system that works any where near as well as my old one. I have tried two systems that work on 5.8ghz from Uniden and Pansonic but both have horrible range. I am considering tiring the new DECT 1.9ghz phones but i am not sure that will work any better for me. Whatever I get needs to be able to be purchased and possibly returned locally in the Charolote North Carolina area.
In particular any recommendations for specific phones?

A. In general, you can expect better clarity as you move from 46-49 MHz models (which are overcrowded with baby monitors and walkie-talkies) to 900 MHz models (which most homes use for cordless phones) to 2.4 GHz models. The primary benefit of 5.8 GHz models is the avoidance of interference with 802.11b wLANs and microwaves. If interference is your primary concern, make sure you purchase a fully 5.8 GHz phone.2 Otherwise, a dual transmission phone will give you better battery life.

As for range, here are some average maximum distances for the different technologies. Keep in mind that these numbers are very subjective and depend on factors such as obstructions, frequency interference, transmission technology, and even weather. The higher figure listed assumes ideal conditions are present.

46-49 MHz - 40 to 250 feet
900 MHz - 75 to 400 feet
900 MHz w/spread spectrum - 200 to 1500 feet
2.4 GHz w/spread spectrum - 300 to 2000 feet
5.8 GHz w/spread spectrum - 300 to 2000 feet

In addition to their other advantages, the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands are above the range that most scanners can intercept, making it much more difficult for eavesdroppers to listen to your conversations.
