Regarding the Saber, Systems Saber and the ASTRO Saber:
Does one RSS Programming cable handle all 3 radios? How about the KVL cable---just one for all 3 radios?

KVL cables work the same on all models, saber, systemssaber, and astro saber. I own all 3 and have keyed all 3.
If you look at the programming cable diagram for the sabers and astros you will see that pin 8 is used on busy line. On the astro pin 6 is connected to busy negative. (I belive this is correct, trying to remember from looking at diagram). I personally used a switch to toggle busy to 6 and 8 and it works fine. I now only have to use one cable and flip a switch to change.

515 says the same KVL cable works with the Saber and ASTRO Saber.
Mancow says the cables are different---pins 6 and 8 specifically, thus the cable needs modifications to support both radios (add a switch to toggle pins 6 and

Will the same KVL cable work on the Saber and ASTRO Saber (without adding a switch, etc.)?
