The way I understand it, pagers are a one way device. When a message is sent to a pager it is broadcasted by the network for the pager to recieve, but there isn't any sort of confirmation sent back to the tower, so they can't really be tracked. That's why they were in use prior to cellphones. These pagers ran on a AAA battery from what I understand, which wouldn't last very long if it was having to constantly broadcast like a cellphone.

So, I was curious and did some digging on the old LLV. Apparently it has a 13.5 gallon tank, and the vehicle is rated at 17mpg, but in actual use it gets more like 8-10mpg. So taking the worst case of 8, that's about 100 mile range, so the NGDV isn't really all that much worse. I'm guessing that's going to cover the majority of routes, with the few outliers being covered by the gas powered versions.

I also regret your decision.
