I live in a house about 100 feet from my daughter's house. There is a 24'W
X 45' L X 16' H metal workshop between the two houses. I would like to get a
wireless intercom system that would permit communication among all three
buildings. I have a three-handset Panasonic phone with an intercom but it
will not work across the metal building. It not feasible to run wiring
between the buildings. Any suggestions for a wireless unit would be
appreciated.

How about those FSR radios?

As one has suggested, try the FRS radios available at any big-box or
hardware store for $30-$100. Aluminum siding does cut the range down but
those radios should be good for a mile or so unobstructed, so you should be
ok.

Are the three buildings served by the same electric circuits?
If so, try a three station AC powered intercom. It uses
the electric power for connection.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a couple of Motorola 6310 radios and they
worked great so I bought another one olus charging docks for all three so I
can leave them on all the time. The buildings have separeate electrice
service.
