I have a few Beocom phones around the house with a Beoline 2. It works fine and even has a good range into the front and back garden. However there are small  "blind" spots where people tell me the signal goes bad when I am talking to them.This is caused by  the house being made of shuttered concrete (1931) and the extensive use of foil backed insulation by me in more recent times. I tried a third party repeater and it made things worse.

 If I was to set up a second Beoline 2 on a telephone  extension to the other side of the house, would the two Beolines work  ?

I am surprised that no one has answered this as there must be someone out there with 2 BeoLines?  I imagine it would work fine, because the situation would be the same as if two close neighbours had BeoLines.  As long as you register to the correct base you should have no problems - that's supposed to be one of the principles of DECT technology.

What 3rd party repeater did you try?  I occasionally see RTX4002s on eBay and wondered if they work.

That is the model I tried, just not to keen to buy another  beoline 2 before asking here first.

Morning, only a repeater will work. Adding another Beoline will not work as the phone can only work with one Beoline at 1 time

but you can register a phone to more than one base, and it is quite easy to chose which one to use at any time, so I don't see why this would be a problem.

The Beocom 6000 Mk1 manual also states that you can use 'AUTO SELECT' to chose the other base when the signal to the first is lost - hence implying that the use of 2 BeoLine 2's would work as suggested in the original post.

Thanks Guy. I will get a second Beoline and try "auto select"

You will still have the same problem, if your on a phone call and you walk into a dead spot, the call will end. The phone will not auto switch to the other Beoline to allow the call to continue. Where as, the repeater will do this.
