Benefits:
+ Very good reception
+ Good "voice quality" for a baby monitor
+ Very easy to use
+ Super range (it is enough with no problems up to our neighbors, a straight line about 80m through several walls)
We use it today, when we are at the neighbors and have brought Junior (6 years) to bed.
Disadvantages:
- The reception at the receiving part is too good !!! Sounds strange, but is true.
We had (as well as some other reviewers) to start on a channel only noise and on the other we had a foreign nursery. Due to our residential area this foreign children must be at least 130m or more but removed.
Since shielding the antenna did not work, I have screwed the device and at your own risk gekappt.Man the cable to the antenna could it necessary to solder again, but the true guarantee gone.
The risk was worth it because the device works perfectly since (so many years).
>>> The above mentioned positive characteristics relating to the use of capped antenna.
Because of these risky tinkering, I had to pull off a star. But no more than that because it has subsequently worked great.
You will understand that I can not give final recommendation due to these facts that everyone must know himself.
You could try but quite. In a pinch, you can use it if necessary to eavesdropping espionage :-).
