hi, this is mostlikely a DUMB question, but i am new to saber astros, dont have one yet, but will soon! are all saber "ASTRO" radios setup for ASTRO? or must ASTRO be flashed also?
what are some other default flashes that are usually in the radio?
possible DUMB saber astro question

VSLEP and IMBE are digital transmissions (Astro)
VSLEP was the first flavor of digital transmission, and now IMBE is the supported APCO standard (also known as IMBE CAI or Common Air Interface).
Digtial (Astro) is NOT an encyption standard...just another way of getting your voice from point A to B. Digital encyption would take place by using a DVP/DES modules (well, using DVP, DES, DVI does change your voice to a digital format, but its not the same thing that we are talking about). There is no such thing as "Astro Encyption" etc if you are transmitting in the clear, in digital mode.
To find out if you have IMBE, go into the ASTRO menu in RSS and see if you can change the "Digital Squelch" to "Digital CSQ". If you can, then you have IMBE. If you cannot change it to that option, you have VSLEP.
