Direct wire is the way to go.
mooretorque,

About 2-3 years ago Cincinnatti Microwave hit bad times - discontinued thier cordless phone business and sold off the Passport line to a new company founded under the ESCORT name. So now the company that makes Passports is ESCORT, Inc.

In the last year or so they've begun selling through distribution and have managed to hold their retail prices through the channel. Very seldom do you see a Passport discounted, but they are available through private stores asnd on the 'net.
