Recently all volunteers in my department received new minitor 5's to replace our 3's. The pager has worked nearly flawlessly for the first 6 months with perfectly clear transmissions and great reception. Around Christmas it suddenly started sounding and acting like crap! While on open line it misses tons of radio traffic and cuts in and out of the traffic i do hear. It does however alert to all tones for my station even though it may not be transmitting through the speaker just prior to dispatching while on open line. I have to hold down the squelch button to hear important traffic without interruption. Is there anything I can do on my own to solve this problem? or will i have to send it in for inspection?
Also, my department is in the process of switching over to an 800 mhz system which will be simulcast on the old VHF. could this be part of the problem? thanks!
