Abstract

A radio pager (1) comprises an aerial (2) connected to a radio receiver (3) for receiving information transmitted by a radio paging network (4). Information received by the radio pager (1) can be communicated to a micro-computer (9) linked with a portable computer (10). The micro-computer (9) and so-called portable computer (10) are operative for processing information received by the radio pager (1) and operative for manipulating data contained within the transmitted information and for responding to the data in dependence upon whether part or all of the data satisfies a desired condition.
