I'm not sure about Fire Pagers... probably open and ok because the Uniden Scanners do it plus decoding.

Commercial pagers is a no-no, Universal Radio used to sell unit that could decode that traffic, and you can find them on eBay of the Internet.

But most of it just not that interesting, everybody that I know that has a pager it's either phone numbers or pick up milk, most of it has been supplanted by cell phone text messaging.

And the paging market has really shrunk, very few companies left as they all merged.
