Minitor question?

Post by yardbirdjr »

Hello all!

Quick question.

I was just wanting to see if it is possible to make a Minitor III, IV or V pager a Private Line Pager.

I know from years past the Minitor I and II pagers were capable of doing this.

Please advise

Thanks

David

I don't remember seeing anything in the V software to give PL as an option.

I set our A and B so they only open when recognized tones are heard, they're quiet the rest of the time.

C is set as Priority scan so it's constantly looking back A, but works as a 2 channel scanner.

D is set as Probable scan so its just a 2 channel scanner.

They will still alert when the correct tones are heard no matter if set on A-B-C-D.

There is no provision for "private line" in any Minitor pager since Minitor II.

The only Minitor series pager capable of PL was the Minitor I, and you lost selcall if you converted it to PL, making it just a plain receiver with no alert.

Look for the new "Jedi" series portables!
