Implementation
- Bloominglabs has two VHF ham radios sitting idle which could be used for the transmitter. Our Yaesu tri-band radio could be used for this too for UHV coverage. Also the newly donated pager repeater.
- Possibly purchasing a lot of 12 Motorola Advisor Alpha pagers(http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/motorola_advisor_a05klb5162aa.html, POCSAG, 931.2375mhz)
- The older Thinkpad has an RS232 port
