Can this receive &amp; RECORD audio for fire pages in the 159 mhz range that my pager currently has difficulty receiving because of distance from tower?

That appears to be in the frequency range of the dongle. However, I would suggest you set up an outside antenna in the air as high as you can. That pager signal is probably coming from high on that tower. If the signal is strong enough you will be able to record it.

I use one connected to a homemade 1/4 wave, ground plane antenna mounted on a 20 foot tower. I can consistently communicate on the 2 meter band on repeaters up to 80 miles away.

Yes it can communicate in the same frequency band (156-157MHZ). HOWEVER, be advised it contains no circuitry to provide of automatic switching to emergency channels and is NOT water proof, (non-submersible) nor even weather resistant. Also it does not have any type of geolocate ID/ALI sending feature. In a pinch when a vessel is in distress I certainly wouldn't want a splash of water taking out my only means of survival safety.

hello, turns out I returned this product - at a distance of only 15' I was picking up "static" on any frequency. went back to my original Amphony 5.8 GHz model 1500 wireless audio transmitter / receiver. however the 1500 only does audio.

You could record with the gqrx software in Linux ( gnu radio distro from a pendrive ) for example. Distance from tower will have to be addressed with an external antenna of the desired frequency, I believe you will need a mmx to bnc connector and a normal antenna with bnc.

I don't know because we haven't programmed in departments that are that far away. Don't they issue pagers/radios to the firefighters? I ask that because our local department does. Sorry ;-(

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

The speaker has a 1700hz high frequency cross over. Not much response below that range. That would be classified as mid-range frequency. Most center channel application is voice range and above

We have the bus and the fire truck, those used different MHz. The fire truck is 49MHz.

I am sorry but I don't have the answer for that but the recorder can be set to record at a very high bit rate up to 256kbps I think.
899317
I don't think that is possible. The device transmits a wireless signal which almost by definition will be received by a wireless receiver tuned to receive in that frequency range.

only if you use alternate software. look up sdrsharp. i have picked up transmissions from 28 mhz up to 800 mhz but this will work well outside that range i just don't have the antennas to pick up the lower frequiencies. hope this helps

Yes and no. You can enter certain frequencies in these ranges, but it won't scan right through. Example, (I just tried). I entered 253.4 and hit scan. It scanned to 253 to 257 then restarted at 253. Then I entered 259, and it continued. Then I entered 118.000, it stopped on a air channel and continued. Maybe check with Yaesu's spec sheet. I dont have my book with me. Hope this helps

It should process the signal at up to 96hz/24 bit, I believe. I did notice that when I started using it there was an improvment in sound quality, so I have been happy with it.
2009672
Yes it does. My area police and fire use the same frequencies and I have no problem with picking them up.

I can't answer your question. I returned the unit I purchased because it did not have sufficient range. I purchased another radiofrequency unit. Sorry.
