I have my pager (G5/VHF) set up to alert on my department's two tone system, and record the message that follows. It alerts fine, and records the message as well as will play the messages back when I hit the MBox key and play the messages. The decoding and recording works fine on both the VHF frequencies and the Trunking system.
1. My question is this...It NEVER shows that there is a recorded message at the top of the display as is shown in most of the advertising for the pagers.
Does that have to be enabled somewhere? I've searched everywhere for an answer to this, and I can't even find anyone else complaining about this, so I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
2. Is there any way to BULK erase these messages rather than stepping through them one at a time and delete each?
3. As a tertiary question, on most of the Minitor series of pagers, when they have received an alert, a red LED comes on and stays on to indicate the pager has been activated. Why doesn't the G5 have a similar indicator? I've heard rumors that they are aware of this deficiency, and may do something about it, but I haven't seen anything lately. This seems like a huge omission considering the competition has been doing it for years.
TIA
