Need a Systems Saber III programmed

[Mark40930]

Hi everyone,
I have done a search of the forum but haven't quite found the answer I wanted so apologies if this is a dupe post:

I have a Motorola Saber III VHF handheld (Systems Saber) purchased as surplus some years ago that I want to have programmed. I work for a private EMS company and plan on using the radio for work as an interim until I can get a better replacement.

I've checked with the local shops here and nobody (of course!) has the capability anymore to program these models.

Are there any forum members that still have the RSS software able to program the handheld? Willing to pay reasonable costs for programming and return shipping. Thanks in advance!

The problem is that radio isn't narrow band so using on EMS service would pose some FCC compliance issues as well as a potential performance issue when used on the EMS system. I have the capability, but about the only places that VHF model can be used are the 2 meter ham band and VHF marine band depending on the internal band modules. They are great radios. I use the UHF models on GMRS.

Would need at least an astro saber for narrow band.

Get yourself an HT1000 "DN" model version and you will be all set and legal.

Cost would be less than $150.00 and you'd be getting a good quality Motorola handheld.

I can program Sabers here in So Cal, but as mentioned the Saber , and System Saber does not comply with Narrowband regulations.

A HT1000 D model is a great radio and complies with the narrow band requirements.
