Ok so I had my Saber programmed by my radio guy but he said he could not enable the scan b/c it needed some other option in the codeplug. I am not so knowledgable when it comes to these terms but according to the model number it is scan capable.

What do I need to get for him so I can use the scan function of the radio? I don't know what this requires. Just looking for input on whether this is something simple to add.

Its a Saber 1, 12 channel low power VHF 146-174Mhz radio. Model number ends in CN which would indicate scan capable.

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, the basic Saber 1 (as opposed to the 1E) will not support scan, even if the model number is "CN".

You would need a 1E, II, or III in order to support scan.

Well thats a bummer!! Surprised he didn't know that....lol

Thanks for the info.

The 1E does not support scan either.

The suffixes of Motorola's model numbers ("AN", "BN", "CN" Etc.) signify engineering changes only. They do not indicate option capabilities. In your case, you need a Saber II or III to scan.
