➤ ➤ Controls The image below shows the controls of a hand-held radio. Please note that the controls differ between models and that some functions are optional. The most frequently used features are all located on the top panel of the radio. From right to left are the antenna socket, the channel selector, the volume control (combined with ON/OFF switch) and a 2-position switch that is used to select between secure and non-secure operation. On radios that are not crypto-capable, this switch may either be missing, or might be used to select between channel banks. At the left side of the radio are a number of recessed buttons.

At the top is the squelch button, which allows the squelch (noise cancellation) to be open for as long as the button is depressed. Keeping it depressed for more than 3 seconds, will permanently open the squelsh. Eenadu news paper telugu pdf. In the middle is the (large) Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch. The radio transmits as long as this button is depressed. The radio can be programmed to send an identification at the start of a transmission. Below the PTT are two small buttons for Repeater Access Tones (RAT).

They can only be used if the radio has version 6D or later of the CORE firmware. On older versions of the CORE, such as the common 5D, they will not work. On early case variants the RAT buttons were omitted. Models There are several series of SABER radios, that are compatible and interoperable to some extent.

This page only deals with the SABER I, II and III (and the European ), but not with some of the later analogue and digital trunking systems. The latter are listed below in red. Model Display Keypad Remark 12 channels 24 channels (in 2 zones) 3 keys 48 or 120 channels 1 15 keys 2 120 channels Systems SABER 3 Analogue trunking Astro SABER 3 Digital (and trunking) Note that the Systems SABER and the Astro SABER are backwards compatible with the SABER, as they can be programmed for 200+ analogue channels (using a different version of the ). They have the same casing as the SABER. Almost all accessories are interchangeable between SABER, and Systems SABER. Some accessories of the Astro SABER can be used as well, with the exception of antennas, microphones, programming cables and vehicle adapters.

• There are 2 versions of the SABER II: one with 2KB of memory (48 channels in 4 zones) and one with 8KB of memory (120 channels in 10 zones) and DTMF. The memory is located behind the front panel. • The keyboard consists of 15 keys: the 3 keys of the SABER II plus 12 keys (not 16) for DTMF. • Most of the accessories of the Systems SABER will work with the SABER, but some of the accessories of the Asto SABER are not compatible. Systems SABER and Astro SABER are not covered on this page.

Variants Many different versions and variants of the SABER radio, have been made over the years, for a variety of frequency ranges. Used SABER held-helds are often found in surplus stores and on auction sites such as Ebay.

As it is often difficult to tell which models you are dealing with, the description below can be used as a guide. Luckily, the frequency band and a number of features can be deduced from the that is normally present on a label at the back. Unfortunately, the doesn't tell you which section of the frequency band (the split) is used. Furthermore, the FACTORY ID might be missing completely on rebatched versions of the radio, as many of them were given a different name by telecom operators in Europe. For example, a UHF was sold by the Dutch PTT as the Portavox 3165. The many different versions of the Motorola SABER are discussed in detail below. First of all there are two different case sizes: • Non-secure - short case SABER radios that are not crypto-capable have a case that is slightly shorter that radio that do have this provision.

Such radios can never be used for secure communication, and can not be modified for that. This version is shown on the left.

• Secure - long case A slightly longer case is used for SABER radios that care crypto-capable. This doesn't means that a suitable is present though; the relevant slot might still be empty or contain a dummy. It just means that the radio has space for a.

Furthermore, there are two case variants that look identical: • Standard This is the standard (non-submersible) version of the SABER radio. Most radios found on the surplus market and on auction sites, such as Ebay, are of this type.

• Submersible As a manufacturing option it was possible to order SABER radios that were submersable in water. Such radios had appropriate seals and rubber gaskets at all openings in the case, including the speaker grille.
