Motorola Saber Convert-A-Com

Post by SIGINT »

This may sound like a stupid question but I recent received a mobile installtion unit for the Saber. When I started to tunker with it, I realized that if the Saber is placed into the Convert-A-Com unit, it would seemingly be nearly impossible to extract it with damaging either the mobile unit or the radio. How do you extract the radio from this type of unit with damaging either?[color=blue][/color][b] :roll: [/b]

...and in the event you doubt the advice given above, be advised that pulling the radio by the antenna is in the Motorola book!

Matt: I figured that he might find the answer as hard to believe as I did when I first read it in the Saber manual. Glad you got a kick out of it. (There is strength in numbers!)

And if you pull an MT1000 out by the antenna, it kills the radio after enough tries. Amazing. I didn't know that about the Saber. What will they think of next?!
