Does the EnGenius Industrial Cordless Phone System use the base unit to connect two handsets in a two-way radio conversation?
No. The handsets work completely independent of the base unit. As an example, you can have 4 pairs of two-way radio call going on simultaneously and the 9th person can use the remote location (construction site, beach, farm, mountains, lake) and use them as two-way radios. When used as two-ways radios, the conversations are full duplex (just like a phone call), digital and private. There is no group chatter. You are talking to the specific handset in which you have initiated the two-way radio call.
