Anyone else notice reduced sensitivity as compared to a Min5? I did some limited testing after programming a few 6's and felt they didn't receive as well as the 5's do. When at CPE this week, one of the friendly dealers near us said they did some extensive testing and feel they 6's are at least 3dB...

Did you also change it from non-Stored Voice to Stored Voice?

Now that Motorola has abandoned low band paging, and the Minitor 5 last order date is 28 Feb (according to my local dealer), does anybody know if a quality low band pager is being manufactured by anyone else? New Low Band Minitor V pagers should be readily available for 1 or 2 years. The national d...

You should not narrowband your pagers prior to the paging transmitter being narrowbanded. This results in audio problems and the possibility of the pager not decoding. Once the paging transmitter is narrowbanded, your Minitor V's will work just fine in the wide mode until you have a chance to change...

MOTO_LR

Jamie, I don't believe your problem is related to SV or NSV. If you have the mode switch position programmed for "Monitor F1" and the pager will not monitor in that switch position, you have a defective pager that needs to go to the depot. The Minitor V has a known problem where it will no...

Is your "Fixed Alert" set to ON ?
When you have the failure, will the volume control vary the low audio level or is the audio level constant.?

Good information from RFguy...thank you! A little modification to the Minitor II dates. The first Minitor II's were manufactured in 1986... The last Minitor II's were manufactured in the first quarter of 2000. Those were Low Band and UHF. The VHF High Band Minitor II's were discontinued prior to Low...

When I look at the eBay listing you reference, the seller lists the model as H03ZVC2468AC... This model number is a VHF High Band Director II SV. With the Director II SV, vibe was standard. Without contacting the seller, I would say this is definitely NOT a Minitor II SV. You can add vibe to a 1-cha...

This is a known problem to Motorola. Via MOL, open a case about the problem (Minitor V - No Monitor function) They will give you a "SP Authorization Number" to return it to the Service Depot for a free repair. If you do not have a Motorola On Line account, the dealer you purchased your Min...

We have seen this problem several times. We currently have 5 VHF SV Minitor V pagers in the shop with the problem. All 5 pagers are from the same Lot / Order.

MOTO_LR

After some testing, it appears that what you want to do can be done with the proper Minitor V and a little help from a software guru here on the Batboard. Your Minitor V on 470.3875 should be the H Bandsplit which is 470-477.9975 That Bandsplit will not work for your frequency spread. The RF board w...

I would recommend that you try one of the following antennas with your Minitor V Amplified Chargers... Larsen Model KD14-450-HW2 or Laird Technologies Model G450BN These are 1/2-wave Rubber Duck type portable antennas My first preference is the Larsen model. You will also need a BNC Female/BNC Male ...

What options are selected for the Mode Switch position that you are using when you are scanning both channels?
Also what UHF sub-band is your Minitor V? (What information is on the small label on the back of the pager)

I'm afraid it is time for your Minitor V to take a trip to the Motorola Service Depot. We have seen a number of Stored Voice Minitor V's that exhibit your pager's symptoms. If yours is like those that we sent to the service depot, in addition to the no monitor function, when the proper alert tones a...

I don't really expect anyone to offer a narrowband conversion for the Minitor IV. For most applications, the current Minitor IV works just fine on systems using the 12.5 KHz. (narrow channel) specs. I have approx. 50 Minitor IV's in service in "narrow channel" systems. Most have been in se...

It didn't show up in the search because Motorola's description for the item is: " VOLUME/ON/OFF SWITCH" The item description does not contain the radio name the part is for, in this case, Minitor IV. This practice is common with Motorola part descriptions. You can find the part described a...

The Minitor IV volume control ON/OFF switch is Motorola Part No. 4080384S17 Other than the speaker, the next source of a low audio problem is often the volume control. Beyond that, I recommend sending the pager to Complete Wireless Technologies, http://www.compwiretech.com Hope that helps! Bob, CLAR...

JU3A4 out does allow for tone alert in the "2" position. In the standard Minitor II, the positions marked "1" and "2" are both Monitor Mode. The "Bell" position (F1) is the only position that is Silent until tone activated (Alert Mode, Non-Monitor) If your pag...

No Minitor model will do that frequency spread.

You are in good shape with what you have... The 151 to 158.9975 model is proper for your frequencies. 159.180 is close enough that the 151 to 158.9975 RF board will operate properly. When you program 159.180 for your second channel, the software will give you a "Out of Band frequency warning&qu...

Have you tried more than one charger? Also will your batteries operate a known good pager? The last Minitor V that came to me with your symptoms was actually a bad charger.

Ryan, The Minitor IV squelch setting of 10 is open squelch. "1" is full tight squelch. "8" is the factory default. The Minitor IV is certainly not as sensitive as a Minitor II or Minitor V, but normally work pretty well in areas of good signal strength. What is your paging freque...

You can get the NRN6702A that you have to provide a traditional squelch for monitoring, but you will need to slice and dice the board a little. You are O.K. with R321 and 3C6 removed.

Do you have the appropriate 45-49 MHz RF Board available to install?
The change you desire to make requires a board swap along with the bandsplit change in the software.

MOTO_LR

The reason I suggested opening R503 or removing 3D5 was to facilitate the desire to defeat the auto-reset and to simply hear and record the full message, allowing the user to reset the audio at the desired time. The NRN6702A system-decoder board is a bit of a weird bird. It was never designed for tr...
