Program a high power VHF Saber (H43 series) as a low power (H33 series) radio and you instantly get the wide 146-174 MHz bandsplit, and the radio is still a six watt radio.
ASTRO SABER CONVERTACOM FULL
Receiver performance should be just fine, and in most cases, you'll get the full six watts over the entire band, not that most people need to be transmitting in the 160-174 MHz range.Īnother tip, if you like having the little "beep" at the start of your transmission like the secure radios do, program your radio as secure capable, even if it isn't. Trying to figure out which frequency split you helical antenna is for? Look at the paint on the connector:īy the way, if you look at your Saber III when you are programming it, and see an ERR 01 D in the display.
ASTRO SABER CONVERTACOM MANUAL
Here are a listing of the Service Manual part numbers for this series of radios: Actually, it even mentions it in the programming manual.

This cable is for the Astro Saber and Saber Si.

You may also want to take a look at the RKN4046A Flash/Service Cable. The programming cable for the XTS3000 and XTS3500 is the same as the other Jedi radios, RKN4035A, and its pinout can be found here. Take a look at the ASTRO Saber Programming Cable.
ASTRO SABER CONVERTACOM UPGRADE
Note that it is the same as the one for the mobiles, except for the available power levels and the "H" at the beginning of the model number to denote portable.Ī listing of the ASTRO flash upgrade options can be found here.
ASTRO SABER CONVERTACOM PORTABLE
Here you can find the Astro Portable model breakdown chart. The part number for the manual for the HHCH for the XTS3000 Vehicular Adapter (XTVA) is "ASTRO XTVA Handheld Control Head User Guide 68P81088C79" and the following information applies for the actual HHCH (hand held control head) for the XTS series radios: Q229AB PLN7737A Control Head, Hand-Held (HHCH)for XTS 3000 & 3500 series radios only. Only keyloaders with a model suffix DX or later will properly keyload an Astro, while BX & CX (as well as DX) models will work fine with a regular Saber.įor keyloading, you use the same cable as a regular Saber, TKN8506, and the pinout is available here. The radio uses a third generation keyloader, there is a retro kit to upgrade the DES-XL key loader, and the data in and out pins are different.

This causes problems since the center pin on the radio may not make contact and you will be transmitting into an open (bad). There are some cheap adapters that have a recessed center pin on the female side. Be sure that you use a high quality adapter if you are going to convert from the SMA to something else.

In actual fact - aside from cosmetics and accesory/antenna connections, the two radios (XTS-3000 and ASTRO Saber) are 'electrically identical' - S.S.-product support engineer, '99-'01.Īll these radios use a standard SMA connector for the antenna. Most of this information is for the Astro Saber, but since the XTS3000 and its family are programmed by the same RSS, a lot of the information will be relevant for it too.
