By "registering a handset" do you mean placing it in the receiver bay
and letting it initialize/handshake, or is there a more elaborate procedure?

You have to hold down the locate button on the bottom of the base station
(what a wonderful place for it), and after about 10 seconds it goes into
registration mode. Then you can register a handset to it.

If I remember correctly, you also have to deregister the base station from the
handset first.

My Unidens don't require any intervention. The remotes re-synch
automatically whenever placed in a charger base.

There is a difference between syncing, and registration. Registration is need
for a handset to use a base station. Unless you unregister the handset from
the base and deregister the base from the handset, it will stay registered.

Very early DECT phones (around 3 years ago) would always register automaticaly
when inserted in a base station, dropping off the #1 if the limit of 4 was
reached.

That sounds like what I have. I just use 2 of them. They were 30
dollars or so total from Uniden Direct. Otherwise I have to have my
V-Tech 2.4 gig base station in the garage to keep from interrupting the
WiFi.

Most people around here are dropping their twisted pairs for Time-Warner
IP phones. I like my DSL. It's rock steady.
