Has anyone used more than 2 units (for example 6 units) in a system? If so, how did that work? Thanks.

I have four and it seems to work well. We have units in bedroom and kitchen of our home. About 100 feet away we have units in our elderly Mom's bedroom and living room. They seem to work well. The wall construction can limit distance significantly. Wood walls and one metal skin wall seems to be no problem but two metal skins reduce effectiveness by a huge percentage. From our 100-year-old house into Mom's mobile home is loud at 200-300 feet (one wooden wall through the metal wall on her home). From a mobile home behind us into her mobile home (2 metal walls) maximum range seems to be 125 feet or so. I have four and it seems to work well. We have units in bedroom and kitchen of our home.

Yes we use six units simultaneously as an all points communication system in a community theatre. The system works well, if you remember to have fresh batteries, turn the units on, have them all set to the same channel and turn the volume up......we have tested all the failure modes. Good set up for our use.

I'm in Belize and I bought two to bring with me. I have followed the instructions and I can't get the things to work.

Yes, the Powermate program is designed to deal with more than one unit. I've used it with two -- I haven't tried more than two though.

I have only replaced a particular unit with the same unit. You know--oranges with oranges. I cannot answer what happens when you try to replace a particular unit with a different unit since I have not done that.

You have to add at least one drive in order for the unit to work. My unit is running on 4 drives of 2TB each for a total of 8TB. I run in raid 5 which allows all drives to be mirrors of each other. If one drive fails for any reason you can simply replace it with another drive and all of your data will automatically copy from one to the other. As a minimum you need three drives to run raid 5 but like I said, I'm running 4 drives. When you start up the unit it walks you through everything you want to do with it. It is very user friendly. Hope this helps.

i found that manufacturer says you can only use one system, but some user are using two system without problem. that's what i've found so far.

I use all 6. Can't say whether that's more effective than using fewer since I started with that many!

I agree with the above 2 answers; also I've integrated 2 TG77 systems where I engage maximum 6 allowed on one system - mainly downstairs; the other for additional separate system upstairs using 3. Very happy with the phones. Just purchased a system for my sister's house too.

It's not on a system. They are not connected in any way, which is unfortunate because you are pretty much guessing which one was rung first. Yes you can add more to them.

Maybe. Official answer here: https://support.acurite.com/acurite/topics/multiple_00986_units_working_together

I have used 2 units at the same time in difference rooms in two of my residences. Have never had this problem.

If you wanted to run all 3 at the same time off this unit it probably won't work, but if you understand your constraints and only operate 1 at a time you shouldn't have a problem. It may take you a few days to tune in your settings, so be prepared for that. Once you establish your settings you will be golden.

Its intended use is in resevoirs, but if you have enough of them then yes. There isn't an exact ratio for Volume and Size that leads to how effective they are, so i cant tell you how many you would need. But in small closed-loop systems, one does the trick.

Yes you can put multiple unit in same system as long as you keep the frequency/channel setting same on all unit.

Yes You can ... According to manual untill 4 of them using the same source .... I use two of them .. no problems at all .... better read manual because it has few tricks

I have no experience with the other unit so I am unable to help with your question.

2U is correct, although it is a bit (very tiny bit) out of spec, so if you sandwich it between two 1U units (that go edge-to-edge) you might have some issues.
