Like my title says, I have been looking at adding a Minitor pager to my working collection. I know next to nothing about these so I am still doing my research before I buy anything. My main need for one would be to monitor Johnson County, Kansas.
I am assuming that the range is not the greatest on these being there is not an external antenna? Ideally I would like to be able to monitor Douglas County Fire from the North Central area of Johnson County. If that is not possible that is not a deal breaker for me.
Programming these seems to be something better left to someone that knows what they are doing. There seem to be a few dealers on Ebay that deal with new, used and refurbished Minitors and also offer free programming when you buy from them and know what you are wanting to hear. I am leaning towards used or refurbished simply due to cost.
Figured I would ask here and see if anyone has any experience with these, what they would recommend for Johnson County.
Just looking for a more discreet way of monitoring. Don't want to miss 'The Big One' while I am sleeping or somewhere that a scanner would be inappropriate.
Also any links to reliable websites about these would be helpful as well, since I am just starting to seriously look. Thanks in advance.
