USAlert Alpha 2 Pager

The USAlert Alpha 2 Pager uses a large 2-line LCD to display messages at 18 characters per line. The pager can handle up to 60 messages with each message capable of containing 500 characters. 7000 characters maximum can be stored in memory. The fully synthesized and ruggedly built Alpha 2 uses the POCSAG coding format and is available in VHF, UHF, Midband, or 900 MHz frequency bands. It has 6 capcode addresses and 24 sub-addresses, separate wideband and narrowband compliant receiver boards, and supports 8 languages.

Manufacturer: USAlert

Typical programming of the Alpha 2 pager is accomplished via a USB port using supplied programming software.  Major features like frequency, baud rate, and capcode can also be programmed by hand.  A third way to program the pager is by an over-the-air method where you send a page to the unit that changes particular settings. 

Alert modes include beep, vibrate, melody, and mute.  Urgent, priority, and manual reset are some of the alert types.  Indicators include Low Battery, No Service, Unread Message, Duplicate Message, and Message Locked.  The Alpha 2 is powered by a single AA alkaline battery that should last 50 days under normal operating conditions.  Optional charger and rechargeable batteries are available if desired.
