Minitor II Low Band SV ?

[res6cue]

There has to be someone out there who has figured out how to take a low band RF board and get it to work with a VHF SV decoder board to create a Minitor II low band SV model. I've already tried slapping them together with no luck, wouldn't receive a thing.

I could be dead wrong about this but I want to say I remember reading a while back that in order to accomplish this, one must edit the hex file when programming the pager to allow SV. I have no details on this, but google may help.

Minitor II's are crystal controlled, there is no software to "program" or hack.

Anyone else?

Of course! I was thinking of a III. Sorry.
I'm sure it's a firmware/hardware issue and therefore either not possible or technically challenging. Everything I googled on the subject turns up information to the "negative" on stored voice with a Low Band unit. It may be possible to hardware hack but is it worth it? How the recorder option is activated determines how easy the hack would be. The audio would almost certainly be an analog signal and ground, then start and stop may be logic level stuff but I am just not sure. If I saw schematics on the unit I'd be happy to work out a hardware hack if it were feesible. I just have no access to that stuff.
