Anne: I haven't tried out any of my portables at a distance lately, but when I was younger I had one that I could put in my pocket when I was working on my farm, and I would receive calls while on the tractor, at distances up to about 2000 feet from the house. The clarity was very good in the barn, about 250 feet from the house. If you are interested, I can test those I have now the same way. One of them is labeled Radio Shack 2.4 Ghz.
