Is there any real difference between the Saber and Systems Saber display mic for the SVA?

The lettering on the Systems Saber mic keypad matches the radio itself. But you can use a regular Saber mic in conjunction with a Systems Saber in a SVA, if you can remember what all the button locations do.

OK, I didn't realize that the III and Systems III keypads were different. I'm pretty sure I can handle that small a problem, as I don't need many of the numeric keys' "second" functions. Thanks!

I once ordered a 6169 from John Panik for use with a
regular Saber in the 5487 SVA and IT DID NOT WORK.
I sent it back and he sent me a 6150 which worked
fine, so be careful.

Tom, I appreciate the word of caution. It's currently not a problem, as I have a "regular" display mic with mine, and my Saber fleet consists of a Saber II and a Systems Saber III. I'm running the Saber II right now, because I haven't yet been able to locate the software for the Systems Saber
