Improvising handset beep?
This is about communications between house and shed/workshop.
Important stuff, like being called in for dinner. For some years I've had a one-way gadget that sounds a tone in the shed when either a certain light switch in the house or the front doorbell is pressed. But I'd like to be able to *acknowledge* that, by pressing a button which would sound a tone in the house. To avoid the hassle of wiring or more expensive solutions, I thought I'd simply utilise the Paging function on the downstairs cordless phone, a Samsung SP-R5100. But I'd forgotten how ancient it is. Handsets are no longer available, even at DigiUK who sell some old stuff. And none on ebay UK. Under 'Intercom Between Handsets' in the user guide, not surprisingly I read "This feature is available only when you have more than one handset." But I wonder how hard it would be to rig up something primitive? Any radio/wireless/mobile experts here able to offer any suggestions please? Or, by some fluke, anyone in UK reading this who has a spare handset gathering dust...? -- Terry Pinnell Hobbyist, West Sussex, UK |

Just use the same wires, and add a speaker in the house, and a button in the shed, such that when either button is pressed, both speakers sound. :-) If you only have two wires, this could be an interesting project indeed! ;-) Good Luck!

You mean sending in your request for another cold one, don't you? :) :) If there happens to be a few extra dollars (pounds) available, why not buy yourself one of those two or even three handset cordless phone sets? Telephone answering and placing outgoing in your shed; they allow inter-handset conversations, call transferring, etc. Fantastic. Great at the lake - the main base in the cottage, another handset in the garage/workshop, and the third in the boathouse/dock area. Don't know what might be available to you over across the pond (I'm in one of the colonies :) but Panasonic makes a great one if you can find it. Take care. Ken |

That's why my first choice would have been to simply buy an extra handset. But there's nothing wrong with the single-handset Samsung, so not keen to dump it. Anyway, early tests indicate that the dock to heli-pad range might be an issue g. -- Terry Pinnell Hobbyist, West Sussex, UK |

Dave :) Thanks Dave. I do already use adapted versions of those in a few R/C gadgets, but range is an issue. Although house to shed/workshop is well within the claimed range, the various walls (including the intervening garage) plus possibly the many sources of interference in my workshop make reception unreliable. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK |

Any cordless phone with intercom feature would work...doesn't even have to be hooked up to the phone line (although infinitely more useful if so). They click 'intercom' in the house, handset beeps, you push a button and say 'Right-o'. I pick these up at second-hand stores and yard (to you teabaggers, I believe that would be 'boot') sales for a couple of dollars. Usually a good cleaning and new battery pack puts them in order...sometimes have to cobble up a new power supply from my extensive stock of wall warts. jak |

They can take your fingers off if you're stupid enough to put your hand into the thing when its running. Better yet, get one made for the US market. Whack it with 240v and I'll bet it would pulverize granite...for a minute. jak |

Job done :-) DNA Wont work! - you need a food pulveriser and a pump to force it through the hosepipe! Read it again, it says "Beep", not "Sheep"! -- Service to my country?

DNA OK, guess that would be allowed under the current hosepipe ban we have around here. -- Terry Pinnell Hobbyist, West Sussex, UK There you go then..... If you're not using your hosepipe then you're not doing any gardening so you can plug it into the communication system. Bonus savings. Unless the hosepipe ban is of a personal nature, nudge nudge, wink wink. This I would understand if you are not Man enough to have a practice at doing the Sunday dinner. Go on.... go for it. DNA |

Thanks, Rich Yeah, but you have to use big funnels at each end. Seriously, they've done it on board ships for over a century. Granted, the speaking tubes are bigger than hoses, but the distances are much greater as well. jak |
