I am somewhat new to this (I do know some but not a whole lot), so bear with me.
My fire dept. is having problems with our dispatch center for not receiving pages. We have all Minitor V pagers and on some calls some people will get the page and then on other calls they won't. The county has had their radio repair company come down and look at the problems and found some, but it hasn't seemed to solve a whole lot. My fire dept. has the capability of toning our pagers out from our base station (we have tried this off our own tower and everyone gets the pages, works a lot better than the county tower) and I was wondering if there was a way to have our base station receive the tone from out dispatch center and then re-page over our town's frequency? I know there is a way to do this, but how would we go about doing it? Our base station has the capability of decoding, so how would I get it to rebroadcast over our town frequency?
Sorry for the long (probably confusing) post, but we are just trying to figure this out on our own so all of our firefighters get calls.
Let me know what your thoughts are!
Thanks.
