System Saber Channels

Post by asd6845 »

New to the board here.

I tried searching all the topics possible for my answer, and could not come across an answer or even if someone already posted this question.
A friend and I are programming a couple of System Saber III's (using Version 4 of the System RSS). The problem that we are running into is the radios seem to be stuck at only accepting 8 channels per zone with no noticeable option to make it the full 16 channels per zone.

Does anyone out here on the boards have any bit of info as to a way of correcting this?

This is just really annoying that these radios will not program to its max channel capacity per zone.


Thanks,
Daniel

Go into the RSS and find the place where you add channels, then add them, up to
16 per zone.

An RSS is a fairly complicated, multi-layered structure, with all kinds of "buried" capabilities
in it, sub-menus, etc. etc. If you don't have the programming book then you'll just have to
dig until you find what you need.

Tom is correct in that the System Saber RSS is not for the faint at heart.
You first create the personalities then assign each one to a zone and channel.

Did you try the page up/page down keys when on the zone page?

Good news. My friend got the sabers to accept the 16 channels per zone.

Bad news. I wasn't there to see how he did it.

Anyways, thanks to all who responded so quickly to this post. :)

Now I need to see about scheduling some time to see how we can "mess up" the code plug... hehehe...
