Good Day All-
I found this on eBay this morning. A Saber with out switch 1 and 2 on the side. I know that these switches are not operational on the regular Sabers but I have always seen them included. They are missing on this radio. The ad comes from China.

Just interesting. Maybe a special China version:)

Re: Intersting Saber
Its 1989 made in January. I would think since its probably one of the first Sabers to come off the line I have no doubt that some improvements were made as time went on

Re: Intersting Saber
The first models of Saber III's had a recessed key pad. The raised keys had problems with getting pulled out.

Re: Intersting Saber
Early Sabers had no RAT buttons, which is what they're called. Later ones did. The Sabers missing the buttons are not uncommon.
