Reverse Engineering a Restaurant Pager system

https://k3xec.com/td158/

It’s been a while since I played with something new – been stuck in a bit of a rut with radios recently - working on refining and debugging stuff I mostly understand for the time being. The other day, I was out getting some food and I idly wondered how the restaurant pager system worked. Idle curiosity gave way to the realization that I, in fact, likely had the means and ability to answer this question, so I bought the first set of the most popular looking restaurant pagers I could find on eBay, figuring it’d be a fun multi-week adventure.

For work that takes you away from station, without access to toilet facilities, many personnel also carry portable bottles. These are a formal item, provided by USAP, and marked for their intended use. They are 32oz “HDPE” Nalgene bottles.

You can obtain one at the beginning of your season, and it’s your responsibility to return it, thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, before you depart. These are often used by personnel who travel to deep field locations, but they are also helpful for any situation where you may find yourself away from permanent facilities.
