is the quoted 250 m range dependant on the blutooth device on the other end. in my case a bluetooth dial-up modem or will i get the full range connecting to any devices thanks

You're limited to the range of the weakest device. So if your modem has a 10m range, it will still only manage 10m no matter what the range of the device it's connecting to.

don't expect anything clsoe to 250m from it..thats under ideal conditions (line of site, no interference etc.)
