My Astro Saber Model II housing was starting to get bunged up, so I re-housed it into a Model III housing.
What do I need to do to enable a hot keypad for calling and paging IDs not in my list? I tried an archive search, but I’m obviously not searching on the right keywords.
Astro Saber II to III

I upgraded a model II to a model III a couple months ago. The model II comes with the keypad overlay (the buttons) for all 18 keys not just the 6. If you go from a model I to a model II the front shield is the same you just need to buy the keypad overlay from motorola for about $10.
When I upgraded the radio it already had a model III codeplug b/c I had also replaced the vocon so all I had to do was change the case.
So, yes, physically the only difference is the case.
In summary:
Model I to III - needs keypad overlay, LCD display, codeplug change
Model II to III - needs new case, codeplug change
Hope that helps,
Mike
