Saber II Programming issue (Scan Priority Sampling)

Post by NSPD »

I just programmed a Saber II for a friend to use, and I discovered that while scanning, the priority sampling is VERY slow, muting the audio on active channels for around 1 second each time it checks.

My other Saber II does not do this, it samples so fast that I can barely tell that it is sampling the other channel.

Is there a way to adjust the sample interval?

Bump...

And I just programmed another one that came from the same agency.. this one samples twice as fast as the last, but it's still slow. I wish I could disable the priority sampling completely, but I know that isn't possible with these.

Both of these radios are securenet models if that makes a difference.

As an update to this and future reference for anyone that is experiencing the same issues... the problem went away after I put a secure module in the radio, and both radios have stopped trying to priority sample while scanning. I do still get a priority channel alert on the selected channel while scanning.
