Motorola Saber II

[gbowne1]

I have a pair of the Motorola Saber II UHF HT's. One of them is a Model # H996A +061H Motorola ID no. H44SAJ7139CN and is from 440-470MHz. The Securenet Saber II is a H99QX+061h Motorola ID H44QX37139CN.

I have several questions about them.

I would like to set them up for GMRS. I want to have two zones on them. One for the main channels and the other for the intersitials (which pair with FRS -- set to low power only) Will they work ok for GMRS?

How should I set up the TX / RX pairs for the repeater duplex?

One is a Securenet Saber II the other is not. It has that little switch next to the volume.

How do I know if I have it set up right?

What are the two buttons below the PTT?

Do I need to have PL Tones set up in it?

What Motorola batteries do I need to use? I use the NTN4734A charger.

How do I set up the scan list?

Lots of questions, let's see what I can help you with:

TX/RX - Transmit is on the 467 and receive is on the 462
Securnet - just don't worry about it because if you move it one way it will probably buzz and you will switch it back!
The two buttons below the PTT are programmable via RSS.
PL tones are needed if you are going to hit a repeater.
You can use a Motorola or equivalent battery - just google - Motorola Saber Battery
The Scan List is set up via the RSS.

If you have the RSS and not sure how to use it, you may want to find someone to do it for you. At first, it's a bit overwhelming, but after you do them for a while, it get's easy.

If indeed you do have the RSS but have problems trying to figure it out (i.e. tones, scan list, etc.), drop me a private message and I'll be more than happy to "build the codeplug" for you since my Saber III Securnet is my personal radio of choice.

Sabers are not narrowband and FRS are they wont program into the RSS. The 2 buttons are only programmable in CON 6 or higher

I've heard that they are not narrowband. Whats up with this?

The only repeater I can hear is on 462.5500/467.5500 and is closed. I have not heard REACT GMRS in Washington State for a long time. I don't have the PL tone for this repeater, although I've heard the owner on it several times.

B7spectra, if you want to you can send me a codeplug.I do not have RSS.

The two batteries I do have are 7.5v 2700MAh Ni-MH battery from Anderson ADSM-4592SH. Should I look for the Motorola NTN4592?

I saw a video on Youtube with a Saber II on GMRS.. Something about Santiago Peak RUG? maybe LA County REACT. The youtube user was drice1987.

Do we have 50W on GMRS output? I'm assuming the Saber II is 5w.
