Re: Programming Minitor V
VHF Minitor V pagers come in four band splits and will not go very far outside of the split it came from the factory as. I am assuming you have a 151.000-158.9975 band split pager and you are wanting to go to 147.000 - it's not gonna do it; you are asking it to go 4 MHZ below its split. The software will take it and I'm sure you got a warning pop up on the PPS telling you that performance will suffer for out of split use. Now you know just how badly performance has suffered. I have a 151-158.9975 Minitor V that I have programmed on 159.405 and it works okay, but that's no where near what you are trying to do.
Here are the splits:
143-150.9975
151-159.9975 (most PS pagers in the US will be this split)
159-166.9975
167-174.9975
If you used the engineering hack listed on this board and told your pager it is now a low split pager, the electronics are still for the original split and are not capable receiving the frequency without some serious retuning and possibly physical modification. After you did all that you would loose the ability to hear the FD frequency.
If this is a two channel pager & you are wanting to listen to your local ham repeater and your fire dept. channel, you can't do it with this device.

Re: Programming Minitor V
Was reading an old post reply to a question on frequency splits for a M V pager. Is there any way to fudge on these limits? Seems like somewhere I saw a post on using a hex editor to stretch the limits out a little? I am trying to puty one on 150.995 , it will accept it, but the pager does strange things after I program it with that freq. EG.. wont stay in monitor mode when page is finished... I have tried all types of setting combinations, even called motorola and all they would tell me is it wont work - out of band. Surely there is a way to move it a little. Any help appreciated
