G4 Charger vs Amplified Charger

[mikec10]

I own a G4 pager and am very happy with it. I use the basic charger which I am also happy with. Is there any advantage to getting a amplified charger. Was looking for comments from anyone who may own one. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I use the amplified base to allow a connection to an external antenna.

I really wish you could program the device in any of their cradles. Besides the external antenna mentioned above, the only other addition that's useful to me is an external audio connection.

For just charging, I don't think there's any difference in how it handles that.

The amplified charger is nice for the extra features it offers - external antenna, speaker, connections for alert lights. But if you just need to charge, you aren't missing out on anything.

For one Nob setting for one County that is north of me I need an external antenna to pick it up clearly. I use a bnc adapter to connect the external antenna and am very carefull putting in the adapter because I do not want any broken pins in the antenna connection. Thank you for your help.

As reported before, my amp charger gives me the advantage of using my G5 as a base receiver . It charges my pager while provides me with powerful sounds and an added external antenna port. I get that the antenna port is designed for the secondary band,, however I use an old RS antenna with improved 1-3 bars over the blue band supplied antenna on our P25P2 700/800 System. The amp charger does indeed amplifies the hissing sound which I am use to.
