UHF variants would be great for GMRS or amateur radio and VHF variants really only good for amateur radio these days.īatteries are actually very easy to obtain as Power Products manufactures a 1900 mAH Lithium Ion variant that is in the same form factor as the old 700 mAH NiCad in addition to some more traditional celled batteries. New parts are hard to find now days (granted you can still keep the radios themselves running from the surplus of parts radios) and the Saber's were never capable of narrowband operation in VHF and UHF. Really the last generation of hardware defined radios Motorola designed and extremely rugged. Still considered to have some of the best audio in a HT. Please respect this.The Sabers were great radios. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request.
