• 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.

I just got a Motorola SaberII and had it programmed for 6 Freq. that I use for work. I understand that it is capable of scanning. I searched the web and other forums, I also called motorola.

Please can someone tell me how to get this thing to scan? I went to the scanlist menu but don't know how to put in ch. #s Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done through the keypad but it has been so long since I messed with an analon one I can't recall specifically. What I do recall is that you have to get into the menu and tell it what zone and what channel to add to the sdcan list in each scan list spot. Search around the web for a manual. Surely there's one around somewhere.

The bad thing about the saber scan is that unless it's a channel set to automatically initiate scan the scan will turn off each time you change channels or cycle the power.
