Saber Programming Problem

Post by cophamguy »

Ok here's the deal-

I have a saber 1, rib, rss, the works. I connected everything and powered up the radio and rib. I opened rss and attempted to read the radio and got a comm/ I/O error. The rss says to check the connections to the computer and try again. I have tried again...and again...and again. Same thing. I even tried a different computer. same thing.

what gives?

What radios do you own?: Too many!

Try going into the setup screen via the F9 > F3 or vice versa...

Then see which COM Port it's set to. That is probably your problem.
