Within the next few months, Saratoga County will go live with a simulcast EMS and Fire paging system on 155.925 MHz. While designed to dramatically boost reception, the new system will operate under new FCC narrow band licensing requirements causing older pagers to no longer function. All services are once again reminded to verify that all EMS and Fire pagers are narrowband capable prior to the end of 2010. A simple rule of thumb for Motorola pagers is to look at the front of the pager. Minitor V pagers are narrowband capable, all other models are NOT and will not work once the simulcast system goes live. Additionally, the Saratoga County Motorola pager purchasing contract expires on 12/31/10. Any agency needing to purchase replacements is strongly encouraged to take advantage of this rock-bottom pricing before the contract expires.
