I'm looking for a wireless (and hopefully battery powered) intercom that
will support 3 or 4 stations which is somewhat secure. I don't need
STU-III like security but I don't want something that anyone within
range can listen to.
My house is about 150 ft long and there is a lot of structural steel in
it so range may be an issue. (I've had to install a repeater to get
802.11g access throughout but that solved the problem.)
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Uhhh, intercom + security? Sorry, it doesn't seem to make sense.
You set the level and anyone within range hears what sounds it
put out. Something must be missing?

Some cordless phone systems are extensive in what they offer , you buy a
base with handset and buy extra handsets

Right. I had a two-line Motorola cordless phone about eight years ago
that scrambled the transmission between handset and base. Don't recall
if it also scrambled the intercom transmission. Worth looking into.
Anyway, how close to other houses is this 150' long house? Usually a
house that large isn't that close to its neighbors, and as you found
out with the wireless network, the transmission range is limited.

Not too close to neighbors but frequently numerous boats moored within
100 to 200 ft.
I'll call Motorola and see what they have.
