ASTRO Saber settings

[Astrogoth]

Howdy all,


Yet another AS question. I have the latest (final?) CPS. Wanted to change the master squelch setting. There is none. Okay. Looked in ASTRO Tuner. Not there. Tried to set the battery low alert setting. It chirps at 33% left. Settings not found either.


Ideas?

My V5.02 AS CPS has only a squelch setting on a per-personality basis; a radio-wide
squelch setting would probably be a contradiction if it existed, which I don't think it does.

[Astrogoth]

The CPS says the per personality settings are a "fine tuning". They won't let you set the real squelch threshold, just add more. That may be seen as a good thing. That means it's likely no previous Ham has messed with the setting.
Now that I think about it this may be a "feature" not a problem.

Tom is right, there is no master squelch settings, only a per personality basis.

I'd rather have the squelch settings like they are, rather than just a master squelch setting. Allows for much more flexability.

[Astrogoth]

Ahh, but there is a master setting. Somewhere. On some frequencies setting the per channel squelch to zero doesn't open the master squelch. Granted on most freq's it does but not all. I'm starting to suspect the master setting is a physical pot on the RF board not a software setting.

When is the last time this radio was run through a full alignment?

When is the last time this radio was run through a full alignment?

Recently. It works well, I just wanted to tweak it a bit.

No LCD contrast adjustment either. Could use that as well.

How exactly was said alignment performed?

No way of knowing but I trust the tech. I'm sure he did it right.
