Re: GMRS/FRS Radio Question
The GMRS/FRS combos with 22 channels can put out 2 watts on the GMRS channels. So, if you have 2 Motorola GMRS/FRS radios transmitting at 2 watts on a GMRS channel it doesn't matter if you bought the one that says 10 miles on the pack or paid more for the one that says 28 miles on the pack. The ...

GMRS/FRS Radio Question
I have a question about how the different GMRS/FRS bubble pack radios are marketed. I am well aware of the differences between those and commercial quality GMRS radios with repeater capabilities. What I don't know is what criteria is used by the manufacturers (including Motorola) when they advertise ...

Need Part..Saber Secure Switch
The plastic Secure/Non-Secure toggle on my Saber II broke into pieces on me. I need just the plastic piece. I am still able to use it by grabbing the metal piece that is left. How/where can I get a new one? Can it be replaced easily from the top of the radio or does the case have to be removed ...

Surprised at such an update at what is supposed to be the end of life for the XP OS. Do you guys think that Vista will eventually come into it's own or is it another Win ME?

Re: Motorola commences tender offer for Vertex
An even bigger implication....Vertex has been the main competition for Moto in public safety. NYPD has pretty much abandoned M in favor of Vertex in the past couple of years. So, is Moto saying if we can't get the contract...we'll buy the company that did? Wow.

Printing a Codeplug From DOS RSS
Is it possible to print a codeplug from DOS RSS (ie; Saber, etc.) with a printer that is connected via USB cable? I know the DOS software will be looking for a parallel connected printer. It is just a convenience issue for me, not critical, but was wondering if anyone found a way to do it.

Re: Saber II programming questions
The Saber has mode-slaved scan. When you're in zone 3 you
can only start scanning the channels you've assigned to scan
under zone 3. In each channel setup you assign the channel
to a scanlist. The scanlist runs under a zone, zone 1 runs
scanlinst 1, zone 2 runs scanlist 2, etc. etc. After you ...

Re: Multiplier Date codes ?
I recently came across some new looking Multiplier Saber batteries that had 3-digit numbers embossed on the bottom like the Moto OEM's. E.G.,507 604. Anyone see this? And, can they be interpreted like the OEM's, i.e., 507 would be May of 2007?

Been looking over the following info on Nextel's Direct Talk on the Nextel site and have a few questions.

I see most ASIII's are advertised as being capable of 255 conventional channels (modes). How can these be divided among zones. 16 modes X 16 zones = 256 not 255...Obviously I'm missing something.

On a Spectra A9 set up for zones is it correct that you can only have one scanlist per zone? If it is not set up for zones, can you have one for every mode?
