Thanks, I was unaware they made those, sounds like the perfect solution without worrying about range.

No suggestions, but it deserves some Brian Regan.

I ended up getting two small handheld, single channel ones that work great. Only one mile range but I only need it to reach 500 ft or so. Could of got 30 mile range multi channel ones for the same price 60$ (radio shack, to be expected) But they have digital display and WAY to many buttons for her.
These are very simple to operate, only 4 buttons, a PTT button and an even simpler page option. Now I can drink beer on the neighbors porch or help him on the house remodeling with out worrying about her falling, she would get frustrated she could not operate the cell phone and try getting up herself and fall.
Landlord and neighbors have their own walkie talkies, we can all communicate on channel one.
