We found the same thing as Joe-no one wanted to carry the pager and a handheld all the time for too long. The novelty wore off after a couple years. (We used PageboyII's back in the 80's.) What we wound up with, however, is a bunch of Plectron's on the repeater output at key locations around the county, dispatch centers, sheriff, 911, etc. We can set them off for Skywarn alerts or EMA responses. That has served us well for a long time. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
