Spectra plus crypto board in a Saber?

Post by KC9UZB »

I have a spectra plus here with an XL/OFB combo board in it. I have an AS3 that has the XL board but no OFB...but I need that radio to have OFB. Can I swap these out?

Are there any problems in my plan?

I don't believe AS+ and regular Astro Spectra/Astro Saber crypto modules can be interchanged, an AS+ essentially being a slightly newer generation of radio.

Check your PM's.

Oh come on. This isn't shooting fish in a barrel, this is dropping a tactical nuke on a bucket full of carp.

Ray. I've had it on good authority that it won't work, and getting part numbers requires me to lift the skirt on my AS+ and peek at her :D

That also requires me to not be a lazy twat.

Peter. Replied. Thx.
