I work in a volunteer EMS system that uses MDC to dispatch calls.. Each area has an MDC group that is alerted when there is a call in the neighborhood. Individuals can also be alerted as well, when their designated ID is alerted. Typically, a squad member would respond on the radio acknowledging their response to an assignment. This system is a 24x7 system where responders either have a designated shift or answer when available. Many of our squad members carry radios throughout the day, responding when able. I work in an industry where a two radio would be obstrusive. I am looking for a pager that would at least decode the group, if not individual alert that is sent. A small radio such as the ex series is not an acceptable solution as the antenna makes it quite noticable.
Even if the pager does not transmit a response (duh, its a receiver only) I would at least be able to receive my alerts and contact the dispatch center via phone. I had asked this a few years ago but no ne was aware of such a device...
If one doesnt exist, maybe there is a market for it?
