Wireless linked smoke alarms

Any recommendations?
If I get three or more, will one trigger all the others- even if the initial alarm is out of range if the final one in the chain ?
EG
Alarm1 >>>>>Alarm2>>>>>Alarm3
Radio link 1>2 YES
Radio link .2>3 YES
Radio Link 1>3 NO

Will Alarm1 trigger Alarm3 via Alarm 2?

Yes that's how they work. I use the Aico ones (widely available). You can can also get radio-bases to retrofit so as to have partially wired and partially wireless systems. C.
