Hi
I have a vhf astro saber 2.
It has this firmware and flash.
Host: 05.60.00.00
DSP: N06.05.02
Flash: 100001-000000-7
Just wondering what this can do and if it's worth keeping.
According to the flash decoder it should be able to to IMBE.
Thanks

Very basic flash.
IMBE and standard MDC1200 features.
No frills or thrills (not that most people use the other features anyways).

So what you are saying is this could support all those features I would never use If it were reflashed with a codeplug that has them enabled?

Ya. All depends on what is in the FlashCode to what it will do.

Basically, unless you have a need for multiple encyption keys, singletone operation, MDC1200 commands that only work with console equipment, etx etc, what you have would be fine for ham or basic two-way use.
What where you going to use the radio for?

Oh, it's a toy. Ham, comercial etc. Nothing a sp50 or something like that could do.
Just like learning new stuff. i.e. hacking
