I am tring to program a minitor V VHF pager in the 151 to 158.9975 range a little out of band. Frequency 1 = 154.355 Frequency 2 159.900.
Can anyone Help. I have a Minitor 4 that was programed with the old Dos software and it works perfectly. I would like to do the same with a Minitor V, but I can't seem to get any where with the new windows based software. Has anyone figured out how to ajust it, like you could with the old Dos software.

You are not alone.

I am also searching for the same information. Strength in numbers ? Or perhaps misery loves company.

So far no help, even for legitimate dealers, from the bats themselves.

159.9 is too far out of band, this is not possible.

In my case, I need to cover 158.925 and 159.24 in the same pager.
My old min 3 and 4 pagers could do it, as long as I used the dos programmer. The min v software won't permit even a tiny deviation beyond the band limits.

Several of our M5 are programmed for 154.xxx and 159.xxx. they are working fine. They even work in silent scan mode. I have not updated the firmware to 3.0 yet either. Don't know how that will affect the situation. Hope it doesn't

Oh, I forgot. In the programming software when you get the popup saying the channel is out of band, I just clicked past it and went ahead with the programming. Loaded fine.

Hey John!

What version of software do you use. Mine is 1.0.0
Perhaps that is my problem ? Mine just locks up on the out of band warning.

Snowtech-

You need to update your software... 1.0.0 has known bugs. The latest can be downloaded from Moto's web site.

As I originally stated, 159.9 is too far out of the band and can't be programmed. 159.5975 is the limit for VHF 151-158.9975.

New software is ver. 1.2.2 and the new firmware is 3.0
159.9 may be to far out for the software but not the pager.... It works just fine

The Minitor 5 Software allows the following:
0.5Mhz for Low Band Pagers
0.6Mhz for VHF Pagers
0.7Mhz for UHF Pagers

Snowtech's pager of 158.925 and 159.240 will work just fine.

I found the band limits for B band in the hex editor, line, 005C320, but the pager still won't accept the out of band freq, can anyone else find the line that limits the frequency?
