                LOL.. the basement.. with a simple telescoping antenna.. now if I use the BIG antenna - EFZ 10/20/40m the 5/8wave 2m antenna.... I should hear some thing different.

                (corrected)

                  Point #3 seems to be a 'harmonic' of #5,.. same song / station..

                  Correction... #3 and #5 are dups of #1

                            Why would a pager be able to be reached any more than a phone that accepts SMS, are they not the same thing?

                                        So my question is - why didn't they build receivers for that old tech into modern cell phones? If a AA can last 3-4 weeks, then having that antenna there and software listening for it shouldn't put much strain on the system... perhaps there isn't room? /sigh

                                          Because pagers don't send - that's why it works so good. Two way ones do exist though.

                                            You don't care about sending - use SMS to send. and if it doesn't work.. so what? It's receiving the message that's more important for critical messages. But I suppose that's the issue. pagers work by calling a phone number and typing in a phone number - or emailing a gateway address, which then converts to a pager outgoing message.

                                            I wonder if two page pagers use the pager system or the SMS system?
