Most hams will want the Astro Saber III, which has full controls plus TouchTone pad. They don't have all of the bells and whistles of a lot of ham gear, but that just means you don't have to carry around a manual to figure them out.Ĭontrols are simple - volume, channel, PTT and several buttons and switches which are software-defined. I actually prefer them to most of the Motorola radios being produced today, and fortunately these live forever. I have a number of these, in various bands, and have had them since the mid-1990s. Most Saber accessories are compatible with Astro Saber, though antennas and a small antenna extender used on some accessories are NON-compatible with earlier Sabers. P25 has been in public safety service for nearly 20 years, so you know that it's tested and reliable. The Astro gives you APCO P25 digital operation, which is not only legal on ham bands, it is what D-Star wishes that it could grow up to be.
Everything good that you hear about the Motorola Saber is better in the Astro Digital Sabers.
