Old CP Paging System

Anybody remember before cellphones were popular and Cedar Point rented out pagers for the day? Anyone remember what kind of system they ran, or how it worked?

I rented out pagers the summer I worked there, in 2000. People would have to come back up to the rental counter to have us send a page. We had a machine that we typed a message into, entered the pager number, and it was sent. Any technical aspects beyond that, I don't know :)

Evan it was probably a VHF or UHF system much like packet radio really. (Short burst of digital data or analog data)

I don't really recall the system, but it makes the most sense that it was just a tone and data burst.

You can pick up the paging system now using a police scanner. Seems to be mostly housekeeping related, but I know other departments have used it.

Yeah, I know they still have the frequency, its VHF. I didn't think they still used it though.
