can one station be left on to act like a baby monitor?

Continuous broadcasting is specifically prohibited by the FCC rules covering this device. So the answer is NO.

This particular radio was not intended for continuous transmission as one would have with a baby monitor. Also, at approximately 2 watts RF output, would have rather long range coverage on one of 5 available channels, letting many of your neighbors listen in to your household goings ons. Look for something else marketed as a baby monitor or get out your soldering iron to modify this one.

Hmmm... It is not designed to do so. You may be able to somehow tape the transmit key down on the table unit so that it is continuously engaged. That would be a rigged up solution and it would blanket the area such that other users (If any) could not use that frequency. Interesting idea for someone needing a "long range" baby monitor. Mel

I would not recommend this intercom for use as a baby monitor. This unit would be difficult to move or relocated within a room. A baby monitor would be much easier to locate closer to the baby crib etc.

Your best bet would bet would be to buy a unit for each building you want to monitor.Their Current probes (C-Clamps) are NOT "off the shelf" parts and multiplexing cables would be tough and likely end up as a "Kludge".

We had one for our daughter and added a second monitor when our son was born (so we have 2 monitors and 2 receivers). The monitors work on different channels with no interference. The best part is that we can change the channel on either of our (parent) receivers to check in on either room, one of my favorite features of this monitor. My 2nd favorite feature is the rechargeable batteries, this is rare among monitors (and baby items in general)! :) You will love it!

You can, but the device would not tune to a station the second time I tried it. It was useless

I do not believe so, as the output is singular to one display. I think what you want is this: http://www.monitorsanywhere.com/

Yes you can. You can pair two handsets to the same base and use them also as Baby Monitor.

If you are referring to a baby monitor, no there is not. It has intercom, but that is about as far as it goes.

I would think so, but I'm not sure. Unless you can put them on different channels, you wouldn't know which kid was making the noise. I wouldn't buy these again anyway. The parent unit frequently loses the signal from the baby unit and makes an annoying beeping sound. It's frustrating when that's what wakes you up in the middle of the night.

There is also a monitor feature, but since the units would always be activated in that mode, you need to use with an AC adapter on each so the batteries won't be used up.

No, it doesn't work as a monitor as it a push to talk radio. If you just want to listen to what is going on in the barn, I would suggest a baby monitor. The transmitted unit would be set up in the barn and the receiver unit in the house to be able to listen to goings on in your barn.

Yes, they do. I've never used it, as it's only me here, but I believe they can be used as a baby monitor. Not sure about that, however.

Yes/no. It can but that's not how you would do it. Each line at a time would have to be energized ( connected to panel ) then checked individually

Yes - and just try to set this device for just one program! 2 stations, one program. Not possible. Not explained. Threw this thing in the garbage.

Not necessarily...the way it works is that the monitor goes on "sleep" mode, and when it hears a sound from the child, it turns back on...the screen and the sound. So it will stay off as long as the child is quiet.

Yes. If you touch the power button the screen goes blank but audio remains on. You must press and hold the power button for the power to go all the way off.You didn't ask, but I will also say that you should keep the monitor out of reach of your kids. It isn't very durable. We've been using ours for 7 1/2 months and some of the controls are starting to fail.

there is an on-off function on the setup menu. But why deprive yourself of hearing how crazy you sound when you sing along with the radio? ;)
