Al, Why do you think that? Everything in a Saber radio is done in the RSS, since there are no pots to adjust! The most common issue with audio levels I have seen in Saber and Astro Saber radios always seems to be the wrong bandwidth (narrow versus wide) or companding turned on when it should be off, or vice-versa. Unfamiliarity with the programming seems to be a common factor. Mike gain could be misadjusted.
One thing to check- I know it sounds silly, but I have found this in a few radios- is to ensure that dirt or gunk is not clogging the tiny hole in front of the microphone element. I once had a new Motorola HT750 with abnormally low audio level on transmit, and I found that the front adhesive label- which should have a hole in it for the mike- was incompletely punched at the factory, leaving a nearly invisible piece of plastic film covering the hole! Some careful surgery with a needle extracted the plastic piece, and normal operation was restored. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Al Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT Motorola Saber I have a UHF Saber that everyone says is low in audio. Does anyone in the group know how to adjust the audio. I do not believe it's done in the software. Thanks, Al
