Re: MINITOR VI (YES 6)

The features many of you are looking for are all available (voice and alphanumeric paging all in 1 unit) and water submersible in the Unication G1 Basic + BT and G1 GSM + BT models.

They have several promotions currently running.

PM me for more info or at www.HoffmanRadioNetwork.com.
