Default How to have several identical wireless doorbells respond to the same code?

I have this amazing wireless doorbell. I've mounted the chimer on a
little wooden stand that I can move from room to room. However, I'm
not always in the room where the chime is. So, for example, in winter
I have the kitchen door closed to conserve heat, but if the chime is
currently in the hall I may not hear it.

Even if I bought another couple of these (they're not expensive), they
would each have their own bell push and each "pair" would respond to a
randomly different code. This is done to minimise the likelihood of a
neighbour's bell chiming when your doorbell is rung.

Could the component parts (bell push, chime unit) be modified so that
several chime units would respond to the same trigger code?

My "push" works three different sounders, not all the same make. *Some*
types come with a jumper select for a few different frequencies, to help
avoid neighbours devices. Some of mine can "lose contact" and need to be
power cycled or have the reset button pushed before they connect again.


I hit upon a brainwave this morning! I simply stuck the chimer in my
trouser pocket. So no matter where I am, even in the garage or garden,
I cannot fail to hear it. The chimer unit is extremely lightweight and
after a while you're no longer aware of it. A refinement would be to
dismantle it and put the gubbins in an even smaller container.
