I also bought a pair of Radio Shack wireless intercoms -- they just plug
into the nearest wall socket.  There are some problems:  on one entire
floor of my 3-floor house, the intercom (either one -- I tried swapping
'em!) is very noisy for receiving, though it transmits just fine.  Almost
too noisy to understand the conversation.

Both occasionally make loud, brief crackles and pops.  But worst of all,
every now and then they both SCREAM for hours and hours.  Of course, I
turn 'em off -- but once my tenant locked his in his room when he was
out, and it screamed ALL NIGHT.   ARRRGGGGHHH!

I'd suggest getting a set with wires and going through the pain of laying
the wires.
