AGT Battery Offers Narrowband Modification Services For Minitor II, III Or IV

Aug. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- There has been a lot of incorrect information spreading recently regarding the need for you to replace your pager. The Federal Communications Commission released statements in December 2004 about Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) users having to move their radio transmitters to a 12.5 kHz narrowband. This has created a lot of turmoil as public safety radio users have to upgrade their equipment.
Throughout the communications industry, new equipment is being sold. These suppliers will tell you about how the radio transmitters must be either replaced or reprogrammed to transmit at the narrowband format. What many won’t tell you, however is that the mandate for narrow banding does not include your pager.
Your pager isn’t actually a transmitter and thus isn’t subject to the regulations of the mandate. Your pager will continue to operate as it has in the past when the new frequencies begin to get assigned in 2013. Departments around the country have field-tested their wide band pagers and have had positive results.
From a technical perspective, however, there are a few things that you need to know. Going from the current 25 kHZ transmitter down to a 12.5 kHZ transmitter is going to result in a lower volume. It could be diminished by as much as 40%. Further, the wide band pager you have is not configured to block out the signal interference you will get once the new frequencies begin showing up.
At AGT Battery, it is possible to get some hardware modifications made to your http://www.agtbattery.com/category-s/1863.htm Minitor II, II and IV pagers. These will address the signal interference issues as well as the volume. The company will replace and modify a few key components so you don’t have any problems. This will be much more affordable than replacing your entire pager, which is what many in the communications industry will lead you to believe.
On the market, a new http://www.agtbattery.com/category-s/1863.htm narrowband capable pager is going to cost $500 or more. At AGT Battery, you have the option of keeping your current pager and then paying for the upgrades. For $95.99, you can ensure your pager is up for the challenge of handing the narrowband transmissions.
Regardless of whether you have a Minitor II, III or IV, the price is the same. The company doesn’t distinguish between models, allowing you to save more money. There’s also the option of paying for a tune-up, which is an additional $44. This will get your pager to its peak operating performance. The only other thing that you have to pay is shipping and handling to the company and then back to you.
AGT Battery has had a lot of success with these modifications. The volume may be a little louder, but once the narrowband frequencies come online, it will be perfect. Samples of the modified pagers have been independently tested. They’ve been sent to NEKO for FCC testing as well as an RF engineering firm. Both have come back to meet or exceed FCC acceptance regulations.
The only pagers that cannot be modified are the Minitor II Stored Voice pagers. This is because of the way the pagers are programmed. However, all other II, III and IV Minitor pagers can be upgraded, saving you hundreds of dollars.
Any pagers sent to AGT that do not have the tune-up service requested will be charged a fee for inspection. This is to ensure the pagers are performing their very best before being sent back out to you.
2013 is quickly approaching and you need to make sure that your pager is going to work properly. Don’t let the communications stores tell you that you need a new pager. AGT Battery can modify your pager so that it will work on the new narrowband system. The lead-time for this service is growing as more people are taking advantage of what the company has to offer.
