Help with motorola system saber 3

[gman_90302]

I'm a newbie. I tried to change the band split on a Motorola system saber 3 in RSS 3.0 after changing the band split the radio started acting funny it wont let me read it to change it back i can not get back into the radio. i'm thinking that i need a codeplug, because i for got to save the codeplug before anything. here is the specs Model# HH99QX + 080H FACTORY ID: H44TUK5170CN SERIAL# 500ARG0511 My email is: the-analyst@att.net

Doh! The first thing anyone should do when they are about to tinker with a radio is save the codeplug!

have you tried the codeplug supersite? www.codeplugsupersite.com ??

I have to ask... what did you hope to accomplish by changing the band split?

Just create a new codeplug from scratch. You can do that with the Sabers/Systems Sabers.

The band split was to low

I have to ask... what did you hope to accomplish by changing the band split?

The band split was to low, but the radio had a range of 403-512, but i think it was set at 440-470, and i needed a freq of 482.xxx. But when i read the radio in rss i saw a feature not where i saw it, but i think it was under Radio Model where it had a drop down menu where i could change the band split to a S something like 450-512 not sure. So me being new at this i change it and after that i could no longer read the radio.

I am very new at this so i have to learn like everyone and make a few mistakes. So please be genial with me, I'm learning

When you change the bandsplit, you also have to change out several modules. The Saber line of radios will not cover 403-512 in a single radio.

You are right

is there a link where i can learn a step by step way to create a codeplug from scratch ?

It should be very simple to create a new codeplug from scratch just by following the menus in RSS.

Although this page doesn't tell you how to do it step-by-step, there is a lot of good info.

Motorola Saber Information Page

The Saber & Systems Saber are very hard to mess up. They can be recovered very easily. Good luck!

Even if you get the radio "fixed", it probably will not work on 482 MHz. You might as well start shopping for one in the proper bandsplit.

Exactly! I should have pointed out that you'll have to put the radio back to which band-split that it was originally. You can't just make a codeplug that matches what you want. The hardware has to support what you're telling the software to do.
