Believe it or not, around here I've used 900 MHz phones, 2.4 GHz and 
5.8 GHz phones and the difference in range has only been a matter of 
5 feet or so. I'm guessing they set the power based on that rather 
than just saying they all put out the same. Only ones as I say that 
have been any better were the Panasonic phones and I'm still trying 
to figure that one out.
