We bought this set several months ago and absolutely love it. Zero installation, just plug them in, push the button and talk. We have made a couple of room additions plus hubby's shop so we will buy another set. No more yelling for anyone. A great product that gave our entire family a more quiet home.

In our building all units have to be on the same electrical circuit in order for all stations to work. I would like to order a single station to go with the Three that I already have

I tried 2 different packages, neither would work!
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Two of the three units worked fine. We could not get the third unit in the bedroom to communicate with the other two. Also only one of the three channels worked. We ended up returning it for a refund. Don't bother.

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! HOPE THIS HELPED!

Rip off
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
One of the units did not receive from the other units. The heavy duty power cord extends from the top of the unit which is unsightly if hung on the wall.
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.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
This product is great. Now my family and I do not have to yell and run up 3 floors to communicate. I recomend this to those who have big, large, and wide spread houses. This is a great product.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
the only way to add stations to your system is to buy another system, so much for there expandable come on that you can add systems.

This product does not comunicate 3 ways
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I HAVE A 91 YEAR OLD MOTHER WHO NEEDS MONITORING AT NIGHT. MANY NIGHTS THE STATIC COMES ON AND I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE UNIT. I'VE TRIED ALL THE DIFFERENT CHANNELS, BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM TO WORK.[@]
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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:
We had 3 that worked decently and decided to buy 3 more. We have not been able to get them to work and the three that had been working started to work intermentently. I want to take them all back, they aren't worth the frustration.
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.

Tried to use this for my elderly parents in a two bedroom apartment. Nothing but interference and white noise on all channels. They live in a retirement setting, so it's possible the building has a lot of additional wireless signals, but we had to take it back.

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I have had these for years. I use one outside as a doorbell/intercom; another in the garage and yet another upstairs. It's easy to use and they've lasted this long through the kids.[...]

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Works great to reduce yelling room to room and up and down stairs. Contributes to peace and better communication in the home. Can also be used to play talk radio shows in the house by using lock on button with one near the source.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
It does not work... period! Maybe I got a bad set but we cannot receive on any unit, on any channel... Got it today and it is going back.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Three stations but no way of telling which is which.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I bought the 3pk.but It helps so much I am getting more for every room.,It saves unnecessary steps and having to yellwhen tv or music louder than normal.REALLY HELPED ONE NIGHT WHEN I GOT SICK AND COULDN'T MOVE,HAD TO HAVE AMBULANCE,I PAGED HOUSEMATE.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
We love it. We have had it for three years and used constantly without problems! Every now and then however you will hear some interference but that is very seldom. Well worth the money!

Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
It works very well for what I need it to do.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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:
no problems,These units are also compatible with the older system I have had for years.

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.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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:
We have had ours for 4 years. Stopped us from yelling at one another, because we could not hear ourselves. Very useful in the home!
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
We just got this intercom system and love it!! We have three levels in our home and it was constant shouting to get anyone to hear. The sound quality is very clear and it is so easy to use..just plug it in. Our voices feel better already!
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.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
It's great! I don't have to yell and the sound quality is very clear. It was very inexpensive and easy to set up.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I don use the radio anymore because a lound noise comes from it like an Zzzzz sound. my kids get nightmares from it. I sent it back and got my cash back. Try the 900Mhz one it dose'nt do anything like that!!
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
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:
These are great! We have a multi-level home and communicate without yelling. So easy to use. We even have one in the garage.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Excellent product, so easy to operate, overall quality is very good, including sound. I will buy a second set to have one intercom in each main room.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
I bought the system to communicate with my son'r room in the basement. I was pleasently surprized how these units have increased the communication with out yelling. Some interference with touch sensitive lights though. Good buy for the multi level, multi kid family.
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Great Product !! Very easy to use,and it's something you must have if you have kids in the house!!

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:
bought this for our multi-level house. 3 kids during dinner time is a shouting match. well, not anymore. great product!
Comments about RadioShack Advanced 3-Station/3-Channel FM Wireless Intercom:
Actually a better unit than its smaller version. Pretty clear reception. I purchased 2 sets for our multi-level home at full price. Impresses our guests (I shout less during dinner call) Buy them now on sale!
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.
