I have a two channel Minitor V, that, when in selective call F2 or scan, will alert each time someone transmits. The pager is set up for the Motorola tone system. F1 monitors and alerts normally with no problems. F1's tones are in group 6. F2 has group tone of 634.5 (122) and both A-B tones have a B tone of 634.5. This channel's DPL is 627. I believe this is my issue. Is the tone deviation on this pager "too loose" and is the group tone too close to the the PL and is decoding as a page? The pager was setup on a single wideband channel and when we narrowbanded they were changed to two channel, one for fire, and one for EMS. So, F2's frequencies and PL are all new and the tones were kept so the old tabletop encoder could be used. There were no plan to use pagers after the switch, but several of us like to carry them when on call versue portable radios. There are other firemen with pagers that work fine in this configuration. Is this something that can be fixed with PPS or does this have something in the hardware or firmware that needs be fixed?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Has the Minitor been reprogrammed, to be narrowband?
