The pager and cellphone plastic body itself is the explosive.
A Hardened type of C4 style plastic explosive.
Super tiny detonator inside.
There was a small bit of PETN nestled next to the batteries, which exploded when the batteries cooked off.

Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), also known as PENT, pentyl, PENTA (ПЕНТА, primarily in Russian), TEN (tetraeritrit nitrate), corpent, or penthrite (or, rarely and primarily in German, as nitropenta), is an explosive material. It is the nitrate ester of pentaerythritol, and is structurally very similar to nitroglycerin. Penta refers to the five carbon atoms of the neopentane skeleton. PETN is a very powerful explosive material with a relative effectiveness factor of 1.66. When mixed with a plasticizer, PETN forms a plastic explosive. Along with RDX it is the main ingredient of Semtex.

I watch too much Ryan McBeth and buy into his convincing takes.

That is a "scanner". Probably more like this. But older and not specifically "air band".

I was specifically thinking about the last photo that was posted, you may be talking about the original post of the pagers. But I don't think those would be the type of "pager" used. Probably just a standard alpha numeric Motorola pager
