Minitor 6 - Revert versus Revert-N

[wmdino]

All,

I had a previous posting regarding squelch problems with programming Minitor 6's.

With everyone's help I think we have it down to two settings; I believe we want to either use "revert" or "revert-N"

Can anyone explain the difference from the standpoint of what the user will experience when the selective tones go out?

In other words, how does Revert differ from Revert-N in terms of keeping the radio open, squelch, etc.

Thanks all, this forum has been a great help.

Revert simply means that the pager will revert to monitor mode after the pager is alerted while in selective call mode...revert N means that the pager will wait "N" seconds before it reverts to monitor mode....example....if your paging system has a carrier squelch drop period before the dispatcher starts speaking after tones go off, the pager will wait however many seconds you program(usually 7.5 seconds is what is reccommended) before pager goes back into monitor mode..if u open the software and go to the help menu, windows PSS, click on user data and then click "channel" and that will tell u about all the options..Revert, Revert N, Delayed Revert, ect. Basically, the "N" is how many seconds Hope this helps.

There are many previous posts on the topic for the Minitor V. The answer is the same for the VI. Best search terms to use if you want to read the other posts are minitor revert

firemedic78 has described what it is pretty well for you.

Good explanation of what it does. However, the why is equally important. Revert N holds the pager in Alert Mode (open carrier) for a specified time period to keep the Stored Voice recorder going. SV stops at carrier drop. (Carrier drop terminates Alert Mode.) Adding a time (N seconds) overcomes that.
