I also have the uniden 9110 and I agree it is a very good phone maybe
the best I've ever had. I am going to look into the panasonic
gigarange that sounds like a great phone. Won't be long before
scanners go up to 2.4 gigs and they will move to higher ranges don't
you think?

Panasonic makes a phone called the Gigarange series. These are about
the best I have seen in consumer cordless phones. There are also
industrial cordless phones that work with a system. These are the
ones that you see in hospitals, and large department stors for the
employees to use while they are working.

The industrial phone systems are very expensive, but very effictive in
their performance. Consult your local phone company about industrial
cordless phone systems, or a phone installation company.

As for the life of these phones, they all fail easily when dropped.
Many of the users drop them often, thus causing damage. With a lot of
use, the keypad may also wear out. The higher end phones are
servicable by the manufacture, but they will charge for this.

If you are a single user in a small business, you may find it cheaper
over the long run to use only a cell phone for your business. This
way, if you are in a good cell phone reception area, you will not have
this problem.

If you look at the cost of a very good industrial phone set, verses a
discent cell phone plan including the cell phone, the cell phone plan
may work out cheaper for you in the long run, and be more versitile.
Also, in most places the cell phone would be a good tax write-off as a
business expense, thus having a more reduced cost.

If you have a cell phone already, then simply put a call forwarding
service on your land business line. Then have all the business calls
forwarded to the cell phone.

I've owned many cordless phones over the years, including some of the
newest 5.8 ghz and 2.4 ghz phones. Obviously, some work better then
others. However, I've noticed a failing among ALL of them, maybe
others have noticed the same.

When you are more than just a short distance from the base unit, these
phones all work fine as long as you are not moving, i.e. standing
still. If you start to move, the signal will begin to break up. I
have a retail location that necessitates being about 150 to 200 feet
from the base unit, and all of the newer phones that I've tried do
this. They are unusable in my situation, because I have to move
around while talking.

I have an older Uniden exs9110 that I bought maybe 4-5 years ago, it's
a 900mhz phone with DSS, it doesn't have this problem. It's the best
phone I've ever had, it has a very long range, I can walk a block
away, moving, and it keeps the signal very strong.

None of the phones I've tried in the last year (and I've tried many)
will do this, not even the 900 mhz units I've seen.
The ones that come the closest are the Panasonic units with dual base
antennas, but they are still way behind performance to the old Uniden.

I have had other phones in the past besides the Uniden, they were all
900mhz units, DSS, and they ALL did better than ANY of the newer
units.

If anyone knows of a current-production unit that will perform as well
as my old Uniden, I'd really appreciate knowing what it is.

Please send me mail to:

thanks
