How to turn off the ASTRO Saber "Key Fail" Message

Post by wa8iqo »

I recently got an ASTRO Saber III equipped with an encryption module. When I turn on the radio after self check I get a "Key Fail" message. I cant find in the CPS R5.03.00 were to turn of the encryption feature. I don't need this feature and the fail message is kind of a nuisance. Can anyone provide guidance?

Thank for the help

In the CPS go to Secure and under that open Secure Configuration. Then uncheck
Secure Equipped.
