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. website, where most of this information is directly copied from, and contains more in depth details.Everything good that you hear about the Motorola Saber is better in the Astro Digital Sabers.

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.
