Saber TX light

Post by toyradios »

Does anyone know how to enable the red TX light on a regular Saber III?

The red TX will blink when there it is receiving, but won't light up when transmitting, other than that the radio works.


Thanks

H359 is the channel busy LED control and it should include the
transmit LED. Read the F1 HELP data for this option.
H906 is the low battery LED.
You can have either one of these but not both.
Go into the setup menu and try resetting H359 and see if that lets
the LED come on when transmitting. If it doesn't then the odds are
you have some kind of minor circuit failure that's not affecting
anything except the transmit LED indication.

One other thing. Are you absolutely certain that the radio is putting
out RF? No RF = no transmit LED.

Above is based on V6 RSS; V7 is probably the same, but in any case
it pays to carefully examine the radio setup options via the F1 HELP key.
