Saber spec/model question...

Post by Tom in D.C. »

I've seen a lot of Sabers for sale in my area with a
factory ID of 9509 in place of the standard 7139. The
model chart says these are tone core rather than
binary core and 12.5 kHz narrowband as well, and
that they're "international" models. There's even one
on eBay at I write this.

Question I have is what RSS will program a radio such
as this, and what is a tone core?

Are you referring to the ones that are showing up at local hamfests as "NOS" by the gentleman selling them?

Those are MX1000's and not sabers, the channel selector is 10 channel as well.

9509 Sabers...

DB,

Yes, that's the guy. I've seen one on eBay recently, and it's
the same radio he had a bunch of on his table inside at
Berryville in August. I didn't check the channel switch for
10 or 12 positions but according to the book it would be a
10-channel 12.5 kHz split radio.

So, is it in fact an MX-2000?
