Wierd Minitor II problem with amplified charger

Hello,
I have a low band (46.XX) Minitor II pager with vibrate and an amplified charger.
As far as the vibrate function I added it myself and jumpered some contact inside so the pager works in the following manner:
Bell= Tone
1 = Monitor
2 = Vibrate with no Audio, have to move to 1 to hear transmission.

All has been fine for the last year or so. I leave my pager in the Bell function at night in my amplified cahrger (NRN 4985B) with the original long wire antenna. I receive pages perfectly but here is where it gets weird to me.

When it does go off I get the tone and voice but after the transmission the squelch stays open until I press the reset. Right now I cant even put it into monitor ( position 1) because as soon as I do I get the squelch again.

I have tried moving the antenna around the house but nothing changes.
What could be wrong, and how to remedy the situation?

Thanks

Does it do this only when in the charger or will it also stay on open squelch when it is on your belt? You may need to adjust the squelch setting inside. Also, the M2 has a history of poor connections at the squelch control.

Yeah,
Sorry I forgot to mention that it does it out of the charger as well.

Sounds like a squelch setting or connection problem. That's where I'd start.
