Basically, everything works right with the alarm, and the two-way pager sends signals just fine. When I press a button I get the rx icon first, then the tx icon and text. However, the unlocked icon never changes to a locked icon, and I never get any updates on the pager about what's going on with the truck. If I remote start it, no icons show on the pager.

So my question is, is there a jumper on the brain that I didn't set right, or is there something else simple that I'm overlooking here?

I'll give it a shot tomorrow night, thanks for the recommendation. :)

I'm assuming this will "reset" the antenna?

Bumping this for the morning crew, just in case anybody has additional insight.

Okay, unplugging the antenna for 10-15 minutes didn't do the trick. I also double checked all the connections / pins to make sure none were bent, but everything was fine.

I'll try another pager remote when I get some time and see if that does the trick, unless somebody has a better idea.
