Re: Astro Saber programming help - video

I've opened it up and it does appear to be the correct ASTRO saber cable. I have no idea. Could it be something in the radio intself? something in the flex internally?

thanks

Re: Astro Saber programming help - video

I asked the seller what he used to program and it was last programmed with the latest CPS via an XP machine. I just got my replacement aftermarket RIB today with the same results. I have no idea why it won't read.

Been away from radios for awhile. I know you have to physically open up the O2 head and disconnect the speaker wire from the terminal if you want to disable the internal speaker. Is this still the case or has there been any firmware updates that allow you to do this via CPS?
