Minitor Pagers

[zany]

Hi
I have a minitor II pager and was wondering if it would work on vanderburgh co, In. fire?,
or do I need one with more bells and whistles? if so, does anyone know the freq's and
tones?.. I see dispatch uses 2 channels, but did not see info for the tone reeds, or do I even
need them?....kinda new to this, so basically just looking for how you would program one...

if this is in the wrong forum, mods, feel free to move to the proper forum...

thanks
zany

If you're on their department, they will provide you with a pager or have someone that can point you in the right direction.
Minitor 2's can't be "programmed", they rely on crystals and reeds on the pager board to tell the pager what to alert on. You have to disassemble the pager to get access to them. Given that these are over 25 years old now, finding the right parts is going to be cumbersome

Hey K2NEC
thanks, for the response,,,yea, I know someone who can work on these that probably still
has the parts, (retired cb, scanner, tv shop), he just needs the info for the crystals and reeds
to see if he still has the parts for it....thanks

Not sure if its still available. There were some sellers on Ebay that have freq crystals and tone reads. You may want to look there.

I've worked with volunteer departments whose members bought their own used pagers because their department had no extra funds to provide them. The dept the next town west of me is going to sell their ladder truck because they don't have the $40k to fix the transfer case.
