Hi, It may have something to do with the construction of the walls themselves. Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Benoit" <reb503@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Walt,
I keep saying that becarse it is true. I am always aware of my distance from the transmitter and never have a breakup of signal in the 25-30 foot range even.with intervening walls. This is exactly how Bluetooth is supposed to work. If I had to be next to my audio device wireless would be of little value to me. I believe that Logitech also claims that same range, so if you aren't getting it then there appears to be a problem with the device. Perhaps tthe range is another reason that Logitech has discontinued tha model and they are being sold at such a low price. There might be the possibility of "dead spots" in my house, but I haven't encountered them yet although I am able to exceed the 30 fieet in some directions and not in others.

You keep saying that, but it's not always true. The simple fact is that I
can totally kill the signal to my Bluetooth headphones in less than 10 feet 
and do so consistently. This has nothing whatever to do with the level of
charge on the batteries.

Bluetooth uses the the same frequency band as the newer cordless phones, so 
it is an RF signal and therefore capable of passing through walls just as
cordless phones do.  It has a shorter range and ies less subject to
interference and is more secure when this is necessary. As long as you use it within the 30 foot or so range it will work anywhere in the house with a 
clear signal, at least this has been my experience.  I use it, ay various
times, with the Bookport, a laptop and desktop, and the NLS tape machine, This allows me to move about the house even when using the computer as long 
as I am reading longer documents and newsletters.
