[TheForge] Shop Communications

[Jerry Smith]

I have a 2.4 gig cordless with a remote station out in
the shop. It works well when I am not sunning the
milling machine or one of the other big electrically
drive machines. When I am doing something, I generally
don't answer the phone.

I do have one of those Radio Shack outside ringers
that I can switch on or off to let me know the phone
is ringing when I am outside the shop.
