The mintor III pager vibrate is done with a small motor sounds like the motor is going bad, I have had to repair a few of them slowing moveing away from the III and going to all minitor V though have some board problems that motrola seems to have fixed in the lattest batch that I seen. On the alerting incorrectly It could be the cap code that it was programed with was just one digit off sometimes you cant get the numbers just right and the pager does alert if its to far from the paging tower. Hope this helps

Thanks Jeff, My V hasnt given me any problems and i have a regular charger so far i like it more than my III. The only disadvantage is the size and weight.

Our dept has ordered some III's and IV's and had problems with they are buying V's. Love Motorola radio's, but think there pagers could be more dependable. On a brighter note we keep a couple of old Shinwa's laying around for backups they still work very good just hard to find them anymore.

Everyone should keep in mind the upcoming switch to narrow-band and only the V's are capable. I also believe by law that Motorola dealers can only sell you V's, if your buying IV's someone is dumping inventory.

We got away from the III from what I head over 3 years go, We have I think 1 4 in the company still but I think its out of service, The rest are all V now, Very happy with the V.

I agree only the 5's are narrow band ready, so everyone should be switching over, do not buy or invest in anything less. BE Safe

By narrow band do you mean UHF? That all depends on where you live.... I know we use VHF and have no plans on changing that because VHF (Very High Frequency 30 MHz - 300 MHz ) has the better range, but requires a bigger antenna. Likewise, any interference source in the VHF range would have a better chance of propagating and ergo being received. UHF (Ultra High Frequency 300 MHz - 3000MHz) radios generally offer better building penetration and therefore are ideally suited for indoors as well as for areas of high building density.

Actually VHF in the Public Service bands is 150 to 174 Mhz and wide band is 25khz wide and narrow band is 12.5Khz wide (hentz narrow band) all freq's below 512 Mhz must move to narrow band by Jan 1, 2013

Additional Info from FCC. To prepare for the migration, public safety agencies should start assessing their radio systems and planning for replacements or upgrades. They should inventory their current equipment to ascertain what can be converted to 12.5 kHz and what will need to be replaced before January 1, 2013. Most new equipment has the capability for both 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz operation because any VHF/UHF radio equipment accepted by the FCC after February 14, 1997, had to have 12.5 kHz capability. The 2.5 kHz narrowband equipment is available in both conventional analog FM and digital formats (such as Project 25), so narrowband conventional FM systems will be compliant. Local governments should develop contingency plans to accommodate system changes for both public safety and nonpublic safety systems.
