My county hasn't narrowbanded yet. Will a Minitor 2 still be able to pick up pages after the switch?
i dont think they are going to narrow band the paging channels
If one is operating on a Part 90 channel subject to rebanding and rebands
Likewise, if the pagers are programmed to require PL as well as QC, the level at which the PL is transmitted will be reduced by half.
However, PL is transmitted at a much lower level (deviation equals between 500 and 750 Hz on a wide band channel, or half that on a narrow band channel, or about 15% of max deviation). Also as a guess, I'd guess than many Minitors would fail to decode PL.
Minitors do not have PL capability, they operate CSQ, so none of this is applicable.
I have a Minitor II (3 of them actually) that do PL decode, not CSQ.
IF you Narrowband a said freq wont the pagers (min 1/2/3) be off frequency and the audio on the reciever sound off and garbled????

...County also had to shuffle around and re-arrange some Tone pairs to make it work. I think I heard the Plectron type tones were having problems opening up the pagers and alerting them.
Things seem to have improved a bit over the last few months however with alerts getting over and opening pager tones, or tones opening up the pagers to receive the alerts.
