Highlights:
Band splits: 143-174 MHz, 406-430 MHz, 450-486 MHz, 476-512 MHz
UL or non-UL models available (non-UL are field serviceable)
1 or 5 channel models
8 position function switch
16 minutes of stored voice
User navigation between messages
Fast forward/rewind through a message
Lock messages

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Any idea as to when the programming software will be available? Will it use a USB, or custom Motorola, programming cable? Looks very nice!
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
It uses USB to a custom programming cradle. Software should be available by the time the pagers are shipping.
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
It would have been nice if they would have added multiple paging formats. DTMF, MDC1200 or fleetsync along with the standard 2-tone
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
On the VHF units, any idea if the pager will cover the entire bandsplit, or will it be split up again like the 5's where? I have 2 frequencies that I would like in mine, but one is 154 and one is 162, 2 different bandsplits for the 5's.
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
One single split from 143-174 MHz. No sub-bands.
You can have one channel at 143.070 MHz and the second at 173.990 MHz if you want.

Programming cradle appears to be going for under $100.00 which is not too shabby. The Programming interface LOOKS very nice, but /\/\ doesn't seem to have it listed as a download yet. PWService is also offering $85.00 on an old Min V towards a MIN VI. Not a bad deal at all... I suppose I'll jump on the bandwagon....

Now that Motorola has abandoned low band paging, and the Minitor 5 last order date is 28 Feb (according to my local dealer), does anybody know if a quality low band pager is being manufactured by anyone else?

New Low Band Minitor V pagers should be readily available for 1 or 2 years. The national distributor for Minitor V pagers announced that they will be keeping a very large inventory of the popular Low Band Minitor V models.

Minitor V pagers to them. We have bumped up our inventory for new and used Low Band Minitor V pagers for the popular 33 MHz. and 46 MHz. ranges.
There are at least 2 other manufacturers of Low Band pagers. "Quality" I'm not sure.
Apollo makes a Low Band pager that is similar to the Minitor V. Our customers have not had great success with the Apollo. We have switched a number
of customers from Apollo to Motorola.
The other Low Band pager is the Unication G1. User reports indicate the G1 to have good receive and operational qualities, but there is a major problem
with the battery run time. The pager goes dead in less than a day's use. The Unication G1 is expensive and seems to have too many bells and whistles
for the average user. The G1 has been on the market for a short period of time, so information on durability and cost & quality of repair is not available.
Unication is the company that built the Minitor III, Minitor IV, and Minitor V for Motorola. The Minitor VI is not built by Unication.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Got my M6 in service yesterday, I think I am one of the only ones who got programming cradles before they went on "supply disruption" lol. Anyways, the pager is ok. It's almost identical in size to the 5, but is a tad lighter with the Li-Ion battery. Battery life seems good, I've had it on since noon time yesterday and it still says it's fully charged.
I was hoping by making the SV standard, they would have fixed the age-old stored voice issue of open squelch between alert and announcement, but alas the obnoxious squelch remains (particularly annoying in our system where dispatch stacks pages on different frequencies). The audio and sensitivity seem to be good, it's alerted for all calls over the last day.
Time will tell how it works out. I'm glad I got my demos, now if they'll ship the other 100 I ordered for customers we'll be doing well!

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
For the life of me, I can't understand why they can't make it apply squelch while it waits for the recording timeout. I was really hoping the VI would fix this. It is incredibly annoying.NickH wrote:I was hoping by making the SV standard, they would have fixed the age-old stored voice issue of open squelch between alert and announcement, but alas the obnoxious squelch remains (particularly annoying in our system where dispatch stacks pages on different frequencies).
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Yup, me either. Stored Voice pagers only accounted for about 10% of our Minitor V sales, maybe now that EVERYONE is subject to it, enough people will complain. I'm already preparing my list of grievances for CPE next week...
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Uhhh, are you sure about that?

There is also a Muted Delay N for those who previously used the Delayed N reset option.Muted Revert N: Waits momentarily before checking for carrier drop and then reverts to Monitor mode. During the momentary wait period mutes the speaker and stored voice recording during carrier drop.
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
I didn't select muted delay because it appears that you have to specify a delay time where it mutes the speaker. Sometimes we have to wait for tones on another freq before the message, and sometimes we don't. I obviously wouldn't want to miss a message while the pager mutes for a few seconds, when it is a page for our department only. I can't find a better definition in the help topics, but that's how I understand it.
I supposed I could sneak into dispatch and reprogram the paging stacks to make our tones the last ones in the stack...

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Okay, I have another dumb question. Why do the UL/IS pagers not have external indication they are UL/IS? Is the green dot a trademark of Factory Mutual or something? And the IS batteries don't say anything about being IS? Why no green dot on those, either? Are customers supposed to be clairvoyant or something
Looking to finding Armando at CPE and asking him these very relevant questions!!

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Perhaps my assumption is correct, that there is no difference between the IS and non-IS pagers and batteries aside from price. I did however expect the IS pagers to have the green dot though.
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
That is correct, well and the UL certification... Customers are choosing the non-IS version 10:1 so far. Most don't see it to be worth the extra money.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Anyone else notice reduced sensitivity as compared to a Min5? I did some limited testing after programming a few 6's and felt they didn't receive as well as the 5's do. When at CPE this week, one of the friendly dealers near us said they did some extensive testing and feel they 6's are at least 3dB less sensitive.
Then when at IWCE, looking at random stuff a competitive pager maker made a similar remark and that was without me giving my opinion of reduced sensitivity. He said in their testing the Min 5 would receive at -115 and they would occasionally see some as low as -118. He then stated the Min 6's that he tested all were around -109 to -110 for RX.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
One of the problems with comparing pager sensitivities is there is no antenna jack to connect to, so a test fixture is often used, but it can only be used to compare sensitivity between extact models. A test fixture can't be used to compare sensitivity between pager models as there would be a variation between is the proximity of the particular pager to the test antenna in the fixture. Pagers may look more of less sensitive, but it's an in-valid test. The test needs to be done in free space.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Who is the distributor(s) for the remaining low band Minitor V pagers? Is it existing inventory till it dries up or a mfgr agreement for continued production via Unication in Asia? I have been selling lots of Unication G1 in 46mhz but have a few accounts buying used 46mhz pagers also.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Just my testing observations....
I've been carrying both my legacy M5 VHF 2CH SV 151-159 and my M6 VHF 5CH IS at the same time for about the last three weeks (thanks, late programming kit) and have been assessing the M6's performance prior to all of my users wanting me to order them for their agencies. I am highly impressed with the M6, and I've been a user since Motorola's Pagecom pager (one gen. before Minitor I). The M6 is performing to the same reception standards as is my M5. At most, there could be a 2-3% reduction in range and a similar reduction in voice quality, but I'm still not convinced it's not as good as the M5. One of the nice testing features that the M6 affords is that I can temporarily program all of the regional NWS frequencies thanks to both the full band coverage of the M6 and the extra knob positions. Since these are continuous transmissions, this allows me to do some range testing from known NWS transmitter locations and compare reception to already-assessed weather radios, mobiles, portables, scanners, other pagers, etc. The M6 is doing a fantastic job of receiving NWS signals from even distant stations...on-belt, in-charger, in-building, and in-car. Of course, it's our real-world public safety paging channel reception that counts, and it's doing very well there.
If I had to find one minor (minor!) critique of the M6, it would be that it does not have the set-it-down physical stability of the M5. If you place the M6 pager on a table in the upright position, you must do so carefully, as it wobbles and has a good chance of tipping over (anyone remember Weebles?...but those didn't fall down). The bottom reminds me of the Motorola SP50 portable radio line, with its similar I-don't-want-to-remain-upright design "challenge". So far, the vibrate function hasn't knocked it over, but it has come close. It simply has to do with the shape of the base of the pager. Do your own comparison. The M5 is broad and flat which keeps it stable, whereas the M6 is thinner and rounded, with just a little help near its wider bottom-middle.
So, one thumbs up from this system manager and user on behalf of the M6. Thanks, design team.

- What radios do you own?: APX7500 plus too many to list
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
I just took deleivery of a UHF M6 and it receives better than an APX. The pager breaks squelch and alerts and is very noisy where the APX is silent.
Re: Minitor VI (6) released
Then your APX is poorly tuned. There's no way a real radio with a real antenna is going to be outperformed by a pager with a small fixed internal antenna.loband wrote:I just took deleivery of a UHF M6 and it receives better than an APX.

Re: Minitor VI (6) released
I would tend to agree with you but the APX is well within spec. This was a real world test, in a vehicle, on the extreme fringe of the system, the APX was in scan sitting in the console cup holder, pager up on the dash board. The pager alerted then recorded white noise with barely audible speech in the back ground, APX squelch popped a few times. Call was heard over the mobile. Even with a service monitor where you can just barely hear the tones in the noise this pager will go off.
