Any pager with monitor capability. I know anything Minitor III and up will do it. I even thing Minitor II will do it. I would recomend the III series or newer ( computer programmable vs crystal) also these have a 2 chanel option as well as scan.

I also had extremely long leadtimes with pwservice, especially with the Minitor V.

Cancelled my order with them and went to http://www.falcondirect.com

I got my pagers from them in less than 2 weeks. They also seem to have the best prices. $398 for a Minitor V 2ch SV. pwservice wanted $445
