I am seriously considering getting the AT&T Nomad 4000 cordless
telephone, and I was wondering what experiences others have had with it.
Does it really have 1500' range like they say? After all, that's over a
quarter mile. Does the paging/intercom feature work well? Any problems
using it with an answering machine? Will the handset shatter beyond
repair the first time I drop it? Is $100 a good price?
Experiences with any AT&T cordless phones would be appreciated as well,
and [as usual] if there's sufficient response I'll summarize to
net.consumers. Thanks in advance,

P.S. If $100 is really a bargain, and you live in the NY/NJ area,
that's what they're going for at Bamberger's one-day sale this Wed. 2/27.ron@brl-tgr.ARPA (Ron Natalie <ron>) (02/27/85)

Well, that's 1500' maximum from the base set. Since the transmitter in the base is carrier current, I would expect that that number is drastically decreased as you head away from the house. From my days on rinky dink college radio, I can tell you that carrier current doesn't carry, and the RF is blocked by transformers. -Ron
