Minitor III Band Split

Post by jshep »

Hello all!
I really know nothing about pagers since I have never used one in my life. I have a band split question about the Motorola Minitor III. I am part of a Skywarn Spotter Weather Net, and we use Minitors to receive tones that are put out on an Amateur Radio repeater when the weather service or spotters page us. Anyway, I have been looking day and night for one that is in the right band split, but I cant seem to find them ANYWHERE :o. Is there anyway possible to bring a VHF high-band Minitor into 146 MHz?
Thanks!

Unless the pager is already the correct bandsplit you will have a very hard time, taking Minitors 5+ MHz out of their range is not going to happen without the receiver being retuned.
