Astro Saber II help

[saberthree]

Hello everyone, I have an Astro Saber II radio, I unsuccessfully tried to reprogram...I've used radios all the time in my work place and while I was active duty. The only convenience I had were FPP radios that are straight up easy to program. Once I got involved with CPS.....its a different story. I can read the radio, but for some reason it will not allow me to program...any ideas?

So what actually happens when you go to write the codeplug?

it just sits there, and says cant write. I think im Using a screwed up cable

I would agree on the cable. The only other possibility is that since the RSS runs in dos maybe there is a timing issue where the radio will read but wont write. If you can list the error code or be a bit more specific on the error seen someone can give a bit more help.

Are you possibly trying to use a saber cable on a astro saber? There is 1 pin different between the two.

never mind guys........as lame as it sounds, my dog chewed up the power cable to my toughbook!!!! :-( so much for a toughbook being tough!!! I hoped the dog would at least get electrocuted in the process! I'll repost as soon as i get a new cable for my toughbook. Thank you guys for trying to help me though, I greatly appreciate it
