Minitor 5 SV to NSV

[Vercomm]

Hey Guys,

Here's what I'm trying to do. Maybe i'm going about it all wrong. I've got several SV Minitor 5 pagers, just single channel, and i want to have them operate just like a NSV. Ideally i'd like them to be in monitor mode and be able to hear everything on their channel. I tried changing them in engineer mode to NSV, but when i key up on the channel i still don't get audio through the speaker. I have to press the reset button on the side of the pager to hear the audio. i do have the function switch set to Monitor F1. I'm using software 1.7.2 and pager has firmware v3.

Thanks

Jamie

I don't think what you are trying to do is possible. Just because the software can be modified won't change the squelch circuit. There is still a button on top of the function knob that would need to be dealt with. If anyone else has ideas on how to do this, I would love to know because somebody ordered 500 SVs that I don't need or want.

Disable "push to listen" in the software.

Jamie,

I don't believe your problem is related to SV or NSV.
If you have the mode switch position programmed for "Monitor F1" and the pager will not monitor in that switch position,
you have a defective pager that needs to go to the depot.

The Minitor V has a known problem where it will not monitor.
Motorola calls the problem "No audio in the monitor mode".
We have seen this problem many times.
We had 8 Minitor V pagers in a group of 20 that developed this problem in the first 2 years of use.
