Hello all,

After narrowbanding approximately 50 Minitor V's the last few weeks, had one member ask a question the other night. He said whatever I done to his pager he can barely hear anymore. Not believing him, I swapped out with him and sure enough, there is a terrible squealling whenever the pager is receiving. It almost totally mutes the voice due to the squealling. I reprogrammed the pager for wideband (only option I changed) and it goes away. No other pager has exhibited this same condition, in fact, no one has even said they can tell a difference. This is a 2 channel pager and the second frequency seems unaffected (wide or narrow). Any ideas where to start other than ship it back to Motorola?

Thanks!

I had 2 do the same thing. Send back to Motorola under the flat rate $78 bucks and you get back a new pager with the same serail number you sent in. Doing this saves a lot of headaches.

I have several doing the same thing as well, including mine... Moto denies a problem, but they magically don't seem to have the problem once they get flat-rated and swapped. Funny how that happens.

How I wish Kenwood would build a pager (not a radio - they aren't the same thing) to compete with the M5.
