So unless you have a very small garden in direct line of sight of the
bell
push wandering round the garden is not possible with the cheaper models.

The ones I bought from B&Q came in 2 versions - one for short distances
and
the other for long distance. I have one of each (bell) with one doorswitch
and
the long distance bell works fine in the workshop through four walls. On
testing it worked OK to the middle of the field behind the house.

Just got to go out so a very hurried reply )

Thanks for all replies to my query - some interesting points there. I do
need one with a decent range but I intend to screw it to the wall as I don't
want tenants losing it or leaving it out in the rain - not that all tenants
are like that, of course, but I do know some who are. The only reason I want
cordless is so that I don't have to run wires all over the place.

Anyone suggest a make and model though? B&Q have been mentioned but is it
their own brand? I've seen adverts for MK Libra - they any good?

Cheers,

Mogweed.
