Pretty much for any of the loaders, the later the revision, the more radios it can load keys to. I'm not sure the difference between the 3020AX and BX but CX has multikey and OTAR/shadow key capapbility. DX is needed for Astros and, I think, MTS2000's. Later revisions can do everything the previous revisison can and more. I'd recommend seeking the latest revision you can afford. Be aware that its possible to upgrade to newer models by means of an EPROM swap and (sometimes) and EEPROM upgrade.

Since you are post in the astro forum, I'm going to assume this is for an stro product


a 3020 is only good for des on a older radio, I have 2 holdign the top to my mouse colony cage down.


best bet is to save up and get a 3011dx, if you can afford it. Keep in mind you can also get a 3011ax/bx/cx and have it upgraded.

To load an Astro Saber you need at least a T3011DX. I'm afraid that a T3011CX just won't do it.

RE: LOAD AN ASTRO SABER BY T3011CD

PLEASE ADVISE IF IT IS WORKABLE THAT MY T3011CX UPGRADED TO T3011DX BY UPGRADE KIT (I.E. CHANGE THE CHIPS)?

yes, if you change your CX to a DX via the upgrade method it will keyload astros.
