The main problems with the old Saber and other DOS RSS programs is the hard coding in the software for serial port, that plus the speed. If you try and program with anything faster than a 486-25 mhz SX and not DX you chance corrupting the code-plug, but not bricking the radio (using the DX model with the math coprocessor sometimes causes a divide by zero error). Find an old 386 and you won't have any problems, as far as the program being zipped you may have to unzip it on a newer machine and then transfer it to possibly 2ea 720k floppies depending on the version. For the most part installing is just a matter of selecting the install prompt. I use the 6.0 version. Multicharts 87 crack software. I still use a lot of the RSS software packages for Saber, Spectra and Clean Cab Spectra.

Always use my 486-25SX and have never had any issues. BTW whether it's Saber or System Saber some things above apply. The version 8 of System has some funky operating requirements so I avoid it. I do have DOS Box, and I know that the software opens. But I have not tried programming with it. I'm afraid I'm going to brick a radio. Unless someone can confirm that it does work??

Thanks!I have tried DosBox with the sibling radios MX1000/2000/3000 and it won't work, you need a true DOS computer with a real 8250 or 16450 serial port to be able to program them. May or may not work with the 16550 (buffered) serial port. And even with a DOS computer the software may be quirky and you may have to try a few times to make it work.

➤ ➤ Controls The image below shows the controls of a hand-held radio. Please note that the controls differ between models and that some functions are optional.

The most frequently used features are all located on the top panel of the radio. From right to left are the antenna socket, the channel selector, the volume control (combined with ON/OFF switch) and a 2-position switch that is used to select between secure and non-secure operation. On radios that are not crypto-capable, this switch may either be missing, or might be used to select between channel banks. At the left side of the radio are a number of recessed buttons. At the top is the squelch button, which allows the squelch (noise cancellation) to be open for as long as the button is depressed. Keeping it depressed for more than 3 seconds, will permanently open the squelsh. In the middle is the (large) Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch.
