Hi all, I am really interested in a blue tooth receiver or head phone set but the range of transmissions that I had found seemed limited. If any one knows of a 60-foot range, let me know. In case one might wonder, the Gyration wireless keyboard which is light andsuper responsive had a range of 75 feet at one house but less range in an apartment building with steel in the walls and metal door which stops Gyration 's radio transmission flat. Hence am interested in blue tooth as that would not be blocked by the metal or door. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <dleavens@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 11:09 PM Subject: Bluetooth headset question? > I have been looking at the thread on the Portico with some interest and = > particularly the information on Bluetooth.
