You can get a fair idea as to the model by the band, secure or non secure as well.

Secure, UHF: H44QXK7139CN (usually)

Secure, UHF: H44QXJ7139AN (no scan)(unlikely)

Non secure: H44SAK7139CN(scan)

Non secure, UHF: H44SAJ7139CN(scan)

Secure, VHF: H43QXK7139CN(scan)

Secure, VHF: H43QXJ7139CN(scan)

Non secure, VHF: H43SAJ7139CN(scan)

Non secure, VHF: H43SAK7139CN(scan) (AN- means no scan capabilities in all models)

Those are the most commonly found models on the used market, but there are more available, and pertain to the same radio family but with differing features, options and capabilities, as well as channel capacity, display, keypad...Etc....

Or, just send it to one of us and we'll read it and program it for you.

The sixth character of the model # tells you if it's a model II or model III. the J designates a model II, the K (for full keypad) designates a model III. If you have a H44SAJ7139CN and it has a full keypad, somebody has modified it. Out of the factory, an SAJ only had the three button keypads.

Im assuming mine is a Non secure, UHF: H44SAJ7139CN(scan)Saber II ,just want to make sure though,but this won't be determined until I get a rib and cable,very interesting these little radios.Ive been into scanners for over 20 years just started getting into the motorolas now I guess I like the challenge of these radios,thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.
