Pager problems

[HFD750 6]

I was just wondering if anyone else has these problems with there pagers. I have the MinitorV and I never get calls if I'm in Port Chester,Rye,West harrison or Purchase and the really wierd thing is if I'm sitting at my firehouse it's hit or miss. But when I'm at my dads house in yonkers by the raceway It's crystal clear. Is it a program problem or maybe the pager is no good. If we tone out ourself it comes in alot better. Also I don't get any pages when I'm at the training center.

Sometimes I'll just get the alert and nothing else I know guys in my department are having this problem anyone else?

I had problems with the 4, while in Port Chester. Same type of problem depeneding on where I stood it would or wouldnt work. Even people with other pagers of the same type had no problems or did have problems elsewhere..... who knows?

What you are describing is not unheard of.. the newer pagers Minitor III, IV and V are not as forgiving for the tones or audio being sightly off pitch or frequency like the older crystal based Minitor I and II units..

The atmosphere and landscape of an area can distort the signal enough that it may not trip your pager.

In Put Valley we have tested them side by side in members houses and sometimes they work and sometimes not.. I carry a Minitor III and have not recv'd calls in our own headquarters! I heard the call over the scanner in the building..

Thats why I love the i page too, even if the pager doesnt go off you pretty much will recieve a message within the next min to let you know something is going on. Great backup tool. But ever since i switched to the minitor 2, I havent had any problems.

...maybe by the company that your department uses to service their pagers?

Just a thought.

Try Mid-Hudson Communication. They serviced all our pagers in the past I believe. I also heard from Motorola Reps that parts for the 2's have been discontinued... anyone know if theres any truth to that?

Is 60 doing something different? I've had a lot of missed calls on my pager.

Ill hear the tone but thats it. luckily our dept. repages everything.

parts for min II are discontinued.....we have bought new pagers to replace onres that cannot be fixed.................also, it may be the way the page hits off a repeator

Mine used to do that... there's something with the iDen system as it relates to radio frequency waves in the band that the pagers use.

that happens to me occasionally when they are too close together
