I need to throw something out to all of you regarding pagers. The big " M " in my opinion does not manufacture a pager of good quality any longer. My question is, What brand and model pagers do you all use, and how do you rate them regarding performance and durability . Lets use a 1 to 10 scale with 1 being low marks and 10 being the highest mark.
Unfortunately we use Minitor V pagers as well as Apollo Pilot XP alpha pagers. Oh yeah I forgot, text paging as well. I've never been a big fan of tone/voice pagers. If a pager needs repair it gets sent to the factory and takes forever. Motorola has dropped the ball. It seems every time they make a new model an older model gets dumped from support.
At the fd we have motorolas. I purchased a minator 4 just so I dont have to tote a full size radio around all day ,But we also have txt messaging alerts when they actually work.
