I just recived 20 New Pagers from M. They were programmed by the local M shop. The Problem that I have is that when they are alerted all you hear is static. The voice will come thru and then go back to static. It has been several years scince I have carried one of these pagers. I this how it works or is it a programming issue that needs to go back to be fixed?

Sounds like they need to go back for some further programming to adjust the reset settings.

Sounds like the squelch hasn't been set. Talk to your dealer.

Thanks for the response.

The length of time for the revert n has been set too long. It can be shortened through the software.

In the Minitor V programming software, there is a little slider from 1 - 5 for setting the squelch. What it doesn't tell you whether it is more sensitive (will allow you to hear a weaker signal) at the 1 position or at the 5 position. This is not explained in the help menu either.

So - Minitor V programming gurus: if you are trying to increase the sensitivity of the pager, do you move the slider to a lower or higher numeric value??

Thanks!

If they are stored voice, the delay time is there in case the dispatcher drops the carrier for a few seconds. Have the shop change it to 2 or 3 seconds, Usually the squelch from the factory is fine.
