I'd like to report the 152 and 460 Mhz bands are alive and well in the rest
of the country! The millions of really cheap pagers will keep these bands
online for years and years.

Shhh....don't blab. My little voice-storage pager on a friend's system on
462.925 uses two-tone paging....like the old fire station equipment on the
TV show "Rescue 51"...(c; The pager stores two voice pages in its memory
that can be played back, at will. Keeps me from having to use cellular
airtime to replay last pages by calling the paging company voicemail
server. Just press the button and play the page as many times as you like.

Remember, on digital pagers, you can't hear them scream....(c;

Code is F159 for my two-tones. Hell, it'll page 30 miles from the nearest
tower, just fine.

I'd like to report the 152 and 460 Mhz bands are alive and well in the rest
of the country! The millions of really cheap pagers will keep these bands
online for years and years.

Shhh....don't blab. My little voice-storage pager on a friend's system on
462.925 uses two-tone paging....like the old fire station equipment on the
TV show "Rescue 51"...(c; The pager stores two voice pages in its memory
that can be played back, at will. Keeps me from having to use cellular
airtime to replay last pages by calling the paging company voicemail
server. Just press the button and play the page as many times as you like.

Remember, on digital pagers, you can't hear them scream....(c;

Code is F159 for my two-tones. Hell, it'll page 30 miles from the nearest
tower, just fine.
