Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Had a set of these maybe 25-30 years old, which were on their last legs, due to dirt and corrosion (shop, barn, etc.). One was still good. I needed some new ones due to a recent hospital stay, and got a new set. The frequencies are the same, so I now have four working units. If they hold up like the old ones, they're certainly worth the money. They work just fine.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Purchased one system for our office 3 or so yrs ago. Expanding our space so will purchase 2 more systems [of 3 each--6 new units total]. System is easy to use and has been quite dependable. Occasionally there will be bit of electronic buzz on the line, but not enough to really affect communication. Being in a two-story building, the system has saved me countless steps up or downstairs, and has prevented many lost minutes of work due to having to leave my desk to talk with someone up or downstairs from me.

price is great but unit will not work on channel c also has low hum maybe because all my outlets are not grounded. I control volume noise by lowering volume control.

Not as realiable as I wanted. Sometimes a channel will not work. Very noisy background buzzing is annoying. Gee Whiz Radio Shack! Can't you build something better?

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I couldn't believe they actually work! I plugged in the 3 units, put them all on the same channel and tested them and they worked the first time and have been reliable since. Imagine that! Before this, I tried the Reporter wireless units and fiddled around with them until I got frustrated and returned them. These are so easy to set up, the audio is a little crackly but who cares? Better than having to yell or walk up and downstairs. Highly recommended for an expensive set.

Works great
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I just bought 2 sets of this product. Thats six units and all worked fine with the exception of 1. Not bad, as far as the devices pros and cons, well obviously I have not had it long enough to tell. But thus far 5 out the 6 worked and the install was fairly straight forward-just plug them up and set each one to the corresponding channel and wala! I give it a 4 due to the fact that one was/is inoperable. I plan to take that unit back and purchase another one as well as 3 additional sets. I hope this helps someone make a better decision about their purchase. Oh and I did read several reviews on this product prior to purchase and still decided to take the chance.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
My mom and dad (who is on oxygen 24/7) bought the intercom so dad, sitting in the center of the house, could communicate with my mother as she wanders from one end of the house to the other doing things that need to be done. They used to yell at each other as they tried to communicate.
Well, they still yell at each other, but at least mom can understand what dad is yelling about now and dad doesn't have to repeat himself as much!
These things work great!

I purchased this item to allow my elderly father to communicate with me when I was in my bedroom or office. All it does is make loud screeching sounds. Communication was impossible. This item is nothing but garbage.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
This is perfect for what we needed. We can contact others in other rooms in our house even with doors closed and televisions or radios on loud. There is some static sometimes on one of the units but not loud enough to distract from the sound. Speech is not garbled. The only disadvantage is that I don't have another unit to put in the basement.

Works fine unless the washing machine is in operation. then it emits a loud static or hissing noise that is totally unacceptable
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Very, very impressed. My kids and I came home from RS and simply took the receivers out of the box, put them all throughout the house, plugged them into the wall sockets, and that's it. I could not believe the sound quality. We probably played with the intercom system for about an hour, the way young children play with walkie talkies. With an expansion added to our home, the distance from our master bedroom to the kitchen is a good little bit, especially when you are in that weekend lazy mood. Last night was the ultimate test. I was watching sports in my room and I called on the intercom for one of my kids to bring me a drink from the fridge. Within 2 minutes, the drink was in my hand. This one act alone confirmed that my purchase of this equipment was worth it.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I have just one comment, but it is an overriding one: From the moment I plugged the units in, both were besieged with constant, unremovable hums. It was impossible to conduct a conversation, even a very short one, on these intercoms. I am returning them tomorrow. It may be that the interference came from proximity to transformers or fluorescent lighting, but what home or office isn't jammed full of both those these days?

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I had these setup in 3 different rooms, two of which were only 30 feet apart. The third room was a floor above. The two that were 30 feet apart worked well enough, but the third could only send, not receive. I switched everything around to see if one was DOA, but the all worked when near each other. Its a pretty poor radio when the signal can't go through one floor.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I owned the previous version of this intercom for over 10 years. They worked really great. It was time to replace them and I also found that since I now have young children I needed more than three units. I purchased 2 boxes which gave me 6 units and I found that as long as I place all 6 on the same channel they worked great together. I miss the lightweight cord that was on the previous model. The cord on this model is just too heavy. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I needed a way to communicate between the main house, my off-prem workshop and a Granny Flat on my property. The solution was a wireless intercom, and these particular units came packaged ready to "Plug-&-Play". Each of the units is hardwired to a plug (No external transformer to mess with) and all of the units are set to the same frequency, although you can manually change that.
I read almost all of the reviews before I purchased these because the cost seemed too low, and I did NOT want a toy. Although most of the reviews were fair to bad, I bought them anyway and here is what I found:
1. Florescent lights cause them to be noisy. Do not put them directly beneith a floescent light (including the new "energy-efficient" lights). If you experience noise, MOVE the unit(s).
2. ALL units MUST be on the same frequency (A,B or C).
3. The units do not discriminate sounds...ALL sounds in the room are transmitted when the button is pushed including the dishwasher, clothes dryer, barking dogs, table saw etc...
My opinion is you can't beat these units for the price.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
So what did I expect for [$]. Despite reading other negative comments, I bought this because it comes with three stations and is easy to install -- just plug it in. Original intended use was as a monitor, but the AC buzz on all channels nixed that idea -- would wake up a baby or older person if you tried to use it to talk. So now it will be used to communicate between my workshop, the kitchen, and other locations in the house (like the attic library). If it's just to ask "are you up there" or let someone know you're going out, I can put up with the buzzing. For [$] its okay.

Would I recomend this product to a friend??? yes I would tell them DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
I have three units, one in the den one in the kitchen, and one in the work shop. from the den to the kitchen is about 15 feet from the den to the shop is about 25 feet. none of the three will communicate with the other unless you put them less than 4 feet apart. I have pluged them into several other plugs thinking that would work. needless to say it did not change.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE. DO NOT USE THIS RADIOSHACK INTERCOM.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
You can't lock talk on to stations at the same time, even if you use 2 different channels. so if you want to monitor a different room you have to unlock the room that you were monitoring.
what the point of having 3 channels ?

This is a great product very clear sound. It makes our lifes so much easier. I live with a son a daughter a grandson and my wife. We live in a decent sized house and its so easy to talk to some one else just push a button and your connected the only thing i would have to say that i did not like about it was that the kids love it too. it's funny to listen to there conversations! it is a very good product for a low price we bought 5 sets which is 15 units one for each room even the garage and whats so handy is if the kids are playing they go to channel C and the regular ones are on A it's so convient i love them and recomend them to every one. Once at a freind of mines house she yelled up to her husband and he did not hear her so she ended up going to get him and i said. Cathy why dont you just get these and what do you know she got them!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I own a large country house with 3 suites for family visitors, their children and guests. Additionally, we have a separate building being used as our Studio, about 150 yards down the driveway. I needed to link these widely separated spaces and used my original Radioshack intercoms purchased 24 years ago [yes, they still work!] but needed additional units for the additional spaces. Surprisingly, these new units even work with the old units on channel A. So my ancient intercoms continue in service. For any of the guest room/nurseries we can switch to a different channel B or C to monitor sleeping children. They even clearly communicate with the studio in a separate building, but on the same electrical service.
Logically, if possible, the intercoms should not be on the same circuit breaker as refrigerators or small appliances [or other electrical devices with intelligent circuits that sample electricity] - they could introduce static and noise. So it takes a little experimentation to find the best wall plugs for the clearest signal. Once done, these FM units are terrific and saved a small ransom by not having to professionally install many built-in units in the house with powerful wireless repeaters to reach the studio. Highly recommended.

I have had great luck with these. I have one in my house so that my Grandmother who lives next door can get hold of me. She is not able to use the phone and is bed bound. This was the best device that we have found that allows her to communicate with someone in her house or in my house when she needs something. We have never had a problem. This are great and easy to use. I would recommend them to anyone that has a hearing impaired or disabled person in their house because nothing could be easier for them than pushing a button.

I have a split story home and have a slight hearing impairment. This item has been an asset in my home. I do not have to yell to get my daughter's attention nor does she. The tone grabs my attention, allowing me to get to the device to respond if necessary. I can set the tone and volume as loud as I need it and my daughter, who can hear perfectly fine, can set it at a lower volume. I would suggest this for any families as well as single moms/dads.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I had one set of the older model of these but it wore out so I bought this model, but I am far from satisfied with it. I have one in my daughter's room, one in the living room, and one in the home office. The one in my daughter's room is unrealiable at best and noisy and usable at worst. It tends to emit a buzzing sound that makes it difficult to use. This set is not as good as the older model that it replaced.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
A lot of complaints appear to address the same issue - It works between some rooms and not between other rooms. Here's why: Each house has two circuits of AC. 240 volts come into the house and is split into two "busses" of 120 volts each. If the two rooms you want to monitor from are on the same buss, then it will work, and if one is on one buss and the other one on the other buss, it won't work. Not the unit's problem, but a problem nontheless of all these types of units. If you are lucky it will work for you, and if not, try an extension cord from one of the rooms that it does work to/from (if convenient). For some reason few of the manufacturers of these units tell you this information in the user manual.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Well, we were unlucky on this product and it just didn't work at all in our house. I read all the comments and it seems that I'm not alone to have experienced the same problem, but a lot of people were happy, so I hoped it would work for us. It just doesn't do anything, on some channels, some areas, it worked okay, but not for where we truly needed it, that is the bedrooms, upstairs. I don't understand why it would work great in some homes and not some others??? I tried different outlets, different channels, different areas, but it's ridiculous, it should work everywhere and not with me standing on top of the counter with one arm in the air only!!!! I'm not sure if the product is deffective or just not compatible with my house wirering??? Our home is 4 years old.

We used this intercom for five months and then started getting a loud buzzing noise - without any way to "converse" between rooms.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I have a 3 level townhome and received this as a gift after a family member noticed I was using my cell phone to communicate with people in other areas of my house. It is wonderful to be able to communicate quickly and easily without cell phones and without yelling! As a matter of fact, I plan on buying another set to have additional stations in other rooms! Not at all complicated, just plug it in, set the channel and you are done.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Got this for the Grandparnets very easy for them to use. have a multi. level house and its very hard to hear people calling you. Instead of a cell phone, (hard for them to work) just picked up a box of these. Very nice that they give you 3 in the box.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I rarely give anything 5 stars rating. But this product deserves it.
Clear voice quality, ergonomic design (e.g large talk button) and simple operation are all here.
Two things that make it very reliable:
1. Works of 110V means you never have to worry about depleted batteries.
2. Uses household electric wiring for audio transmission means clear qulaity in every room.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
This was a Christmas gift from my Father after we bought them for his home last year. They worked great for him. We did not have the same luck. We have a detached garage and we could hear sometimes a person from one end talking and not the other. The static was very bad and we have the same electrical in all the buildings. I talked in one out to the garage and could hear the response in another one not the one I was taking in.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I bought this for my husband for Father's Day. I have small children and he has a detached work building and I needed some how to get in contact with him when needed. I have one in the kitchen and one in the den and the other in his building. Needless to say, the building is his oaisis and he wasn't too thrilled with the intercom, but now likes it better.
I am getting this for my dad for Christmas, he has a barn and several detached buildings.
The sales person told me that it would work in any outside building as long as they had the same power source.

we us them but sometimes we get noises coming ove them... then we need to turn them off or to a different channel.. they work good when they work...
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
we have used them for years but they stop working after a year or so, usually one of the three dies. Toss it out, plug in another, probably a design defect

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
The in-laws are getting up there in years & are still very independant (stubborn). Falling down has been a recent issue.
We live upstairs & at times, have no idea that they may need help getting back up.
I set up the Intercoms (1-upstairs, 2-downstairs: frontroom/bathroom) & have insisted they get used to using them. If not, we move in downstairs with them!
They've been very good about it since. LOL

We have one in the kitchen, one in the eldest boy's room and one in my basement office.
I may buy a second set for other rooms.
We are very busy and these save a lot of nuisance trips up/down stairs, around the house and yelling across rooms, etc.
These are also pretty inexpensive as well--a GREAT VALUE in my opinion--highly recommend.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Great sound quality and ease of use. Before buying this product, we strained our voices yelling at the kids in their second story bedrooms to come down for meals, pick up the phone, et cetera. After an installation that couldn't be any easier, the problem is now solved.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Good intentions, but having problems getting all 3 units to send/receive signals depending on where I plug them in. For example you could hear 1 person talking from a base but they wouldn't be able to hear the other person's response but if I plugged it in somewhere else it worked fine. I returned once to see if the item was defective, but that one seemed to be already opened...maybe refurbished. I am going to try 1 more time before just buying a telephone with an intercom. Kind of disappointed. I also noticed the affect on touch lamps.

I live in a 3 level townhome. This product has been a great help. One of the units recently stopped working though, but since the product is expandable, I'm just going to go back to radio shack to purchase another one. I've had these intercoms for about 3 1/2 years. They last- as long as your kids don't play football with it!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
We purchased our "starter set" about 9 years ago and have added on units since then. In a 3 level house it works very well to get everyone's attention. And as we have an ill person in our home now, it is easy for her to call for assistance without having to get up. I am ready to purchase another set of 3 and was just checking to make sure they are still around. We now have white ones, silver ones and black ones but they are all compatible with each other. A life-saver!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Intercom System Radio Shack's intercom system is a great addition to any home! We bought our's about a year or probably more than that ago! Currently we only have one set..3 bases! *We bought them but do not use them very rarely! I guess they are always there if we need them but for now we just forget about them and stay on the wall or furniture! When we used them mostly(the first 2-3 months, if that, after purchased), we really didn't see any hear any signs of buzzing and we knew it was typical that a sensitivity touch lamp would show signs of signal interference. Thanks for the most part Radio Shack, and hopefully we will begin using it again! Thank you!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I would not normally rate anything excellent as i have this intercom unit. We purchased 3-4 months ago after doing my review and research. I have had NO issues and have to yell less just buzz the intercom and I get a quick, clear response. I am very happy with this item I have 1 in each bedroom. Having the (3) units is great. Very happy with this purchase.

The monitor works very well. Sometimes you have to adjust the volume to remove the static sound. The call button is a good feature.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
On average, this is a good item. However, the literature said you can add additional units as you require them, but did not tell you that you must purchase an additional three units. They are not sold individually. This was indeed misleading as I only require one more station.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
We bought this to monitor my 98yr old grandmother as she sleeps. When any of our dimmer lights are turned on, there is a noticable and annoying buzz/hum emitted from the i-com that is listening to a broadcast unit. (Makes it hard to talk or listen to radio/TV).

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I purchased this unit for communications between my home and shop. Couldn't hear anything except a buzz. The building is all metal so an antenna would probably make the system work. I had the shop wired with extra cabling for the good old hard wire units-but no one makes them anymore.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Have multi level house and three boys on one level or another. Announcing dinnertime, bedtime or time to do chores was always a shouting match. Since getting these intercoms life is soooo much more pleasant and quieter! Will be getting second set of three to put on garage, master bedroom and living room. No more shouting! What a joy! Reception and clarity seem to be A-OK too!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
We've used this system for about 3 months and have no major complaints. It is very easy to install, just plug it in. I've only observed one issue... we have some touch-sensitive lamps. When you depress the Talk button, the lamps will turn on. I've observed NO interference with our wireless phones or internet. If you have frequent 'shouting conversations' in your house, then buy this system. It makes all the difference.
