It's been a while since i dealt with sabers, but i seem to remember there was a limit to the number of individual pl tones that could be programmed into 1 radio.
can anyone advise?
SABER PL LIMIT
Moderator: Queue Moderator
Well, if I remember correctly, There is no limit as long as they are
entered into each individual personality or mode. BUT, if you have
a saber of the more advanced types that have multiple user
selectable pl codes from a table, I believe the number of codes
in that table is limited to 16. Sure seems like /\/\ in it's anything
but infinite wisdom sure likes that number 16. Seems to be the
limit you can put in the scan list of most every radio they make.
Aggggggg. Of course I could totally wrong on this and I am
not sure about the astro saber. Never owned one. So if I am
someone please correct me. Phrawg

- What radios do you own?: XTL, XTS, Saber, Spectra, MTS2
Max PL / DPL tones in a Saber
Saber 1's - 8 unique tones, max. Saber II, III's, and Sys Sabers, the sky is the limit (actually, I am not sure about Sys Saber 1's...).

You can use all tones, but the list you select from can only store 8, but if you mix tones on TX and RX, then you can get 16 'different' tones..
IE: TX: 162.2/RX: 123.0 and so on...DPL included
Certain older vintage Sabers did have a PL limit, but later versions did not.
Saber Is can only have 12, as that's all the radio is capable of, and even then, it's a crap shoot.
Model IIs also had a limit, as 48 channels are all it has available, with NO sel. PL capabilities..
All 8K modules 'should' be capable of all PL tones, and this includes the 8 selectable T/R tones on the Sel. PL list.
