Hello Dwayne, I wonder if the paging company has made a change. Did they used to have two separate transmitters, now only have one that switches frequencies? This has been happening at sites since the pager population is dwindling. Paging companies are taking advantage of the multi-frequency capabilities of their transmitters and, for example, putting all their frequencies in one transmitter. They then eliminate the other transmitters to save rent. This is a cost effective thing for them to do. They need to page on all their frequencies because they have pagers out there on different channels and they don't want to replace individual pagers.
If this is the case at your site, here is the downside for you. Because one transmitter is doing many frequencies, they have to eliminate any filter cavities they may have had on each individual transmitter. A site can change from no paging interference to tremendous interference overnight. If the original contract for the paging company required filters (some did) or had a non-interfering clause you may have some recourse. If you are a "ham freebee" like some of my repeaters are, you may just have to live with it. The real fix is probably going to be on the paging transmitter. 73, Joe, K1ike > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Dwayne <mailto:[email protected]> > *To:* [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > *Sent:* Saturday, August 07, 2010 1:38 PM > *Subject:* [Repeater-Builder] Pager interference > > Hi, I've got a new pager issue that has come up on a tower where > we have a VHF repeater.
