Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's KX-TG2700S 2.4 GHz frequency hopping digital phone system randomly changes frequencies several times per second to eliminate the worry of cross-talk or eavesdropping. And, it's privacy mode even allows users to block all other handsets from joining your conversation. The system is expandable to eight handsets (one included) with up to seven model X-TGA270S extension units (optional).
When not using privacy mode, the KX-TG2700S facilitates four-way conferencing on a single outside line and offers a full digital duplex speakerphone through the base unit and handsets. Two-way intercom and paging features allow you to contact others throughout your office or busy home, and the handsets can even double as room monitors so that you can hear what's going on in any room of the house.
Each handset features a four-line backlit LCD for call status, programming options, and up to three lines of caller ID information. Handsets can share caller ID information as well, so you'll always be able to return your missed calls.
The KX-TG2700S also offers six programmable ring tones, a head set jack and belt clip, and wall mounting. It is backed by a one-year warranty.

Disappointing so-so phone from Panasonic.......2005-09-13
I've had this phone for over a year.
The Panasonic batteries are the biggest problem, because they fail after short periods and can be very expensive. (As another review suggested, I'm now trying the Energizer NiMH replacements, but it's too soon to tell.)
Also, the additional headsets are markedly overpriced.
Otherwise, sound quality is fair to good. It's poor when 2 people are on different extensions. Also, when on speakerphone, voicemail systems seem unable to hear the touchtones at times, so one needs to switch to using the handset directly.
We're still using these phones, but obtained a new set from Uniden (with which I've had much greater success) in case these give us further trouble. Would recommend avoiding this series of Panasonic phones.
BAD. Beware of Panasonic's deceptive customer service........2005-04-17
It is with great frustration that I am writing this product review. I have had too much trouble with the battery for the cordless telephone handset (Model KX-TG2700S) and I have complained to Panasonics as described below.
March 8, 2005: I made the first call to Panasonic (1-800-211-7262) to explain that the original battery (Model N4HKGMA00001) for my telephone's handset had stopped working. In particular, since December 2004, in less than one year from the initial purchase, I was unable to charge the battery from the base unit. The customer service agent I spoke to promised to send me a replacement battery free of charge.
March 31, 2005: When after three weeks of my March 8th call I did not receive the battery, I called Panasonic again. This time, the customer service agent told me that there had been an error in processing my order. The agent then went on to process the order again and provided me an order number.
April 16, 2005: Once again I did not receive the battery even after two weeks of my March 31st call, so I called Panasonic again. This time, the customer service agent told me that Panasonic had stopped sending the batteries for Model KX-TG2700 as of March 19, 2005.
Hence, I am now concluding that Panasonic customer service has been giving me a run around to save Panasonic a mere $15, the cost of the battery. I complained about the defective battery on March 8, 2005, before Panasonic's March 19, 2005 decision to suspend sending out the replacement batteries. I think Panasonic's modus operandi is quite disgusting. I bought an expensive phone believing it to be a good purchase. Now I am realizing that it was a big mistake giving my business to Panasonic. I do understand that the batteries have to be replaced from time to time, and I also understood when I bought the phone that the original battery would last for at least 2 years (as reiterated by Panasonic's customer service agent during my March 8, 2005 call!).
I believe that Panasonic is willing to lose a customer who would buy more products in future to save a mere $15. It is now abundantly clear to me that Panasonic works on deception and cheats its customers out of the value of their product. In light of the lousy customer service provided to me, I will not buy any Panasonic products in future.
The Energizer battery makes a big difference!.......2005-01-19
I've had this phone for a couple of years now. The feature are decent and I like the handset speakerphone.
We had a lot of trouble with the battery at first. It eventually got so bad that we started using the base to make calls. We finally got the Energizer ER-P511 battery and it made a huge improvement! I hardly ever hear that annoying beep anymore!
I'm satisfied with the phone overall. Some of my complaints is that the expansion handsets seem a little pricey. Also the 2.4Ghz seems to interfere with the wireless video kit that I just got, so I'm thinking of moving to a 5.8Ghz system with an extra handset. However, there does not seem to be too much interference with my 2.4ghz DLINK DI-514.
We absolutely hate this phone system (Really 0 stars).......2004-12-22
Oh, let us count the ways:
1) The battery life, as everyone mentions, is horrible. I suspect their recharging unit is not very smart, and thus they kill the batteries thanks to overcharging due to the so-called battery 'memory effort,' but I do not know this fer sure. The battery in one phone has now died on us, one is now so faint you can barely hear it, and the last one doesn't recharge much, and dies within the span of a 10 minute conversation when 'fully' charged.
2) There is also a short in the system, possibly related to the bad battery life, that results in the LCD screen blanking out when the phone is on the charger, and it only sometimes comes back alive. This makes the nice Caller ID LCD feature often useless.
3) They are NOT at all cheap for this level of crappiness. We decided to spring for what we thought were 'high-end' phones and got a terrible phone instead.
We will probably try to find the Energizer ER-P511 batteries to see if that solves our problems. But I'm tempted to go back to old but far more reliable phones. Alas, if only our cell phones worked in the house. (DON'T get me started on that one...)
Nice feature set but poor implementation.......2004-12-13
I've owned Panasonic phones pretty much for the last 10 years and they've all been great. When I saw the verbose feature list on this phone plus the 2.4Ghz range, I jumped.
I liked the cell phone like approach to storing numbers, though the interface is quite clunky. Sometimes it's hard to figure out your way back to the main menu.
Anyway, the main beef I have with this phone is battery life and construction quality. I've had the phone for less than a year and the battery has reached the point where it starts beeping after having one conversation on the phone. This is unacceptable. For some reason, the LCD panel has gotten so faded that I can barely read it without extreme darkness. I tried to adjust the contrast but nothing happened.
Luckily I bought this phone with a 2yr replacement warranty at Best Buy and I'm returning it and its accessory phone to get a better system.
I was very happy with the features but the promise was greater than the execution.

Top-of-the-Line antenna........2007-01-04
You can't beat the great Channel Master StealthTenna (that's the name you'll find on the box.) I mounted it on my back fence, aiming right at the town broadcast tower. Boy, is my reception good now. It brought my world from night-to-day. It does get HD reception good to. I'd really recommend this baby. It looks sharp too, sittin' there on your fence top. good for Channel Master.
Works for me! 8-).......2007-01-01
Hi,
I live in a rural area about 65 miles from the only talk-radio (FM) station in North Central Florida. :( Rabbit ears and a signal booster worked ok until a weather front came through. The problem was a radio station on the SAME frequency was about 70 miles in the opposite direction. The propagation would change as weather fronts plowed through. Crosstalk and bleed-over would render both stations unintelligible. Arrrggghhh!
I installed this antenna on a ten-foot mast. Using a map and compass I aimed it exactly at the talk-radio station. Mind you this antenna is NOT advertised to accomplish this task. I am a bit beyond its advertised range. However... NO matter what the weather, reception is CRYSTAL CLEAR. I now have NO noise, fading, or other reception problems. To include the once aggravating crosstalk and bleed-over from the opposite station.
It did what I wanted it to do. I got my monies worth.
Thank you Channel Master!
Hope this helps.

P.S. I'd give it 5 stars except I don't have it pointed at any TV stations and again they would be out of the antenna's advertised
Works Good .......2005-08-18
I recently purchased this antenna so I can receive over the air digital local channels. It does a very good job pulling in local digital channels in the Phoenix area but the standard analong channels do not come in very clear. I have been receiving almost a full signal on the digital channels per my HDTV's signal meter. The manufacturer recommends the addition of an optional amplifier to improve the signal. I have not yet ordered the amplifier but after reading a review by another owner on Epinions, he states it works very good with the addition of the amplifier.
