So what if Radio Shack's online catalogue didn't seem to have anything useful, it only took about 30-seconds after walking into a real store to spot my solution: A cheap, two-station, wired intercom. The clerk wanted to upgrade me to a wireless intercom. I said I wasn't interested and left it at that. (Saying why I want what I buy at Radio Shack only confuses the staff and gets them telling me that it won't work.) For some reason I also didn't buy the extended warranty on stuff I was about to start cutting into. Go figure. So, after some hacking, I now have ~nearly~ what I wanted: A cheap "speakerphone" for my cellphone. The flaws are, first, that I need to pad the amplifier input because the phone output is too hot for it, and second, that I need a better handheld mic to make the CDMA vocoder as happy as I would like. Yes, it is not a completely handsfree speakerphone, but it allows more than one person to participate in a call, and *really* is fullduplex for whomever is holding the mic. Thanks for your help, -kb, the Kent who has the remote intercom box left over.
