Minitor V Rf Board No RX

Post by eagle844 »

Greetings,

I have a Minitor V that I changed the RF board from low band to VHF. I changed it in the engineer mode to VHF 151-158. It will not receive any signal I have several VHF boards that I have tried without success.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

have never seen a service manual or schematic on the Minitor V series but suspect you cannot band change that way. The IF and other functions on the LB main board are probably not compatible.

The UHF and VHF may be compatible but you would have to try it to be sure ...I think I did that once

Short answer is you may be wasting your time on the low band to VHF conversion without more detailed information.

After working with several more pagers, I have the same issue with all of them. No receive with 3 different GOOD VHF RF boards. None of the pagers will receive anything. I have verified that the VHF RF board work in a true VHF pager. I am lost at this point.

Thanks

Confirmed that you CANNOT change the band of the LB Minitor V in that fashion.
