From: Gregg N 

I have a Panasonic 5.8GHz DSS cordless phone that exhibits a strange sort
of problem. I was hoping maybe someone could tell me if this was just the
nature of all 5.8GHz spread spectrum phones before I went and purchased
another one.

Basically, the phone acts as if it supports only half-duplex communication.
That is to say, when the other party is speaking, they can't hear me. This
makes it impossible to interrupt, which I like to do from time to time. I
actually have to wait for them to finally shut up before I can speak. I
don't like this.

I also tested with a corded phone to make sure it was not my service that
is doing this (it isn't).

I have an 802.11g network in the house, so I don't want a 2.4GHz telephone.
