Saber Systems Saber and Astro Saber cable issues

Post by EPC_1111 »

I have several programming cables here and do not know how to identify which radio they belong to. Two are marked Astro Saber/Saber Si only, heatshrinked on label, and two have no markings at all. How do I figure out if these are for the sabers or the astro sabers?
antennas require holes anything else ruins performance and looks lame

The RIB connector has one wire that's connected to a different pin depending on whether it's for a standard Saber or an Astro Saber. Look over on Batlabs.com for the pinouts; I think they're both there under "Model Specific" information.
