To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

These are UHF Sabers. However there are several band splits within the UHF band for Sabers. What exact frequency range these radios have will only be discovered when reading the radio with RSS. Perhaps you should refer to the Batlabs site for your research on any radio.

95% of them were 403-430 , so beware.

You really can't tell unless you read the radio with software, or if you know how, take the radio apart and get the individual part numbers off of the rf section. They're really not worth messing around with if they're saber 1's unless theyre $20 or so.

Key up the radio next to a frequency counter. It's easier than reading the radio with rss. Usually on demilled radios the radio will sit on the default frequency.
You can be fooled as some of the splits overlap.
Cheap chinese knock off frequncy counters are on Ebay. I highly recommend you pick one up. They are invaluable when troubleshooting radios.

H44TUN5170CN is a 403-430 MHz "Secure Capable) System Saber. It will likely have a dummy plug for the encryption module. I bought one and changed the modules to the higher split. Basic Saber's are dirt cheap in all flavors and the modules all interchange.

That's incorrect..
The model number will ONLY tell you that it's VHF or UHF, it will NOT tell you the bandsplit......
RF components are swappable between the systems saber and regular saber, HOWEVER, they're only swappable in band, you can swap any UHF component on a UHF board, and a VHF component on a VHF board, you can NOT take a UHF saber and make it VHF by putting VHF RF components on it, the board is different.
SO, 403-430 saber into 450-470, absolutely
403-430 saber into 146-162 , NO!
