Alpha Pagers test responses to Pronto Transmitter alert settings
Using the LRS programmer software designed for the Pronto and Butler XP transmitters, we programmed all 6 buttons on a Pronto6, and the single button on a Butler XP to utilize all the page Alert mode drop options in the Software sequentially.
Below is a list of the results received on three separate test sessions using the following types of pagers RX-AC-SM (old), RX-CS8-Alpha and RX-E467.
*Please note in the following table: any chosen custom text message was displayed on every pager for every page sent to the pagers from the Pronto and the Butler XP, in addition to the listed pager actions.
