Minitor III refurbush question.

[MikeL123]

I've recied a minitor III from my dept and am wondering if it is a refurbushed model. How can I tell?

What makes you so sure that's the case?

I don't think Motorola refurbishes those pagers - infact if you send them in 3/4 of the time you'll probably get lucky and get a Minitor 4 back as opposed to a 3.

However, I will say that out of the two times mine made the trip in, it came back with a full new set of lables, new case, new batteries, and new nylon case. I guess you can't beat that for $36.

I have sent three minitor III VHF pagers for repair (motorola-repair) and they changed the model number from a to b model (the second to last digit). Also, their repair sheet states "unit replaced".

I havent got lucky (yet) I guess because all mintior IIIs came back as IIIs.

MikeL - Do you mean recently refurbed, or do you mean a pager that was subject to the Recall, and sent in, and returned to the owner-department?

Just sent in for repair
problems were no alerts and poor receive

I think i'm just gonna send it into the depot and see what they say. Hopefully it'll work better and recieve all alerts when it gets back.

Well (so far) all the minitor IIIs returned seem to alert and work properly.
The $78 flat rate charge is a good deal (i believe).

I even sent a minitor II and came back with new everything and works just like new.

I very satisified with the work and how fast turn around is .
