If all units are on the same channel can I call one specific unit and no ones else hears it? On the flip side can I call all the units at once?

To be able to communicate only with one you have to have a specific channel. On the other hand, if you activate the monitor feature, all can hear you

Yes, you can call all sets. It isn't a "call one" but rather a "call all". Think of it as a portable CB radio. Hope this helps!

Not more than 1 radio can talk at a time. You can set all of them to the same channel so everyone in a group can talk with each other. But if you want radios where more than 1 person can talk at a time then you want 3 way radios.

only if you were to both have separate phone numbers and separate base units with each listed as each others 1st call but you would not be able to talk for long as pressing 5 stops the rotation and neither would have a hand set to do this. The simple answer is no.

good question, I am not sure since I only have one unit. But I think the frequency might be different so it might not work.

The room unit will talk to any other room unit that's not on mute. However, you will need the master unit in order for all units to communicate.

Hi TBC. I've never run more than 2 of these units at the same time, but I think as long as you set the frequency of each unit to a different available pre set frequency (there's a choice of many -- 20 or more?-- built in to these babies), you shouldn't have interference. Of course this supposes that the space where you're using them doesn't have native RF or frequency noise happening within any of the frequencies you set your units to. I have yet to get much external frequency interference or noise in the frequency ranges at which these units operate. Good luck.

Yes. You can disable at each individual phone as well as the base unit. It's nice to disable, especially when you have company in the house, I do not like other people hearing who is calling.

Yes, you can communicate with as many in your party as you like by simply choosing the same channel on all radios. You can also divide your party into different groups with each group sharing a different channel (such as for games like paint ball, hide-and-seek, etc.). Everyone on the same channel can hear and talk to everyone else on that channel. For example: If you talk on channel 1, everyone on channel 1 will be able to hear you simultaneously and vice versa.

Multiple people in the household can share in one "outside" conversation - one on each handset at the same time. You can't dial another number e. g., call a second party from a second handset while someone is talking on the first handset to the original party. You would have to have two separate telephone lines with two separate base telephone units - one connected to each of the two separate lines - in order to conduct two independent conversations at the same time. I hope I haven't created confusion!

Yes. I have three different units throughout my house. You can individually select each unit with paiting from a phone or computer. Furthermore, you can select numerous units to simultaneously play the same audio if the units are told to do so through iTunes on a computer. My multiple unit set up works great and is pretty convenient. Works best with a strong wifi network though. If you have a faulty router, you might experience some lag or stopping of audio.

Great IDEA for a feature, but as far as I'm aware, the "baby unit" is always in the communication loop. However, as I think about this, it might be possible to lower the volume on the baby unit to the point it can't be heard in the nursery so the parents COULD talk on the other 2 units. It's late tonight, but I'll check this theory out for you sometime tomorrow & re-edit this answer so we'll know for sure. ***stay tuned*** ----------- Update 7/23/13: Checked for you this morning & unfortunately, the "baby" unit's LOWEST volume level is still audible. So, no, you can't communicate between the two "parent" units without the "baby" unit broadcasting the sound. Even though you can talk to one another, "baby" can always hear. Hope that helped you!

they all come on their own channel. You can run 100 at the same time. No changing of freq. needed.

Yes all 8 when set to the same channel will work together. I have confirmed this

When a call comes in, it does ring on all 6 of the units. I have never tried to answer a call from the base unit, only the handsets. And yes, I did get instructions.

That would work; just put them all on the same channel. Wonderful reception and ease of use. Bob

If you put them all on the same channel, you can talk with each other. You just select a little used channel. Not sure what you mean by "connected together". Hope that helps.
