Well, that's 1500' maximum from the base set.  Since the transmitter in
the base is carrier current, I would expect that that number is drastically
decreased as you head away from the house.  From my days on rinky dink
college radio, I can tell you that carrier current doesn't carry, and the
RF is blocked by transformers.
