Only keyloaders with a model suffix DX or later will properly keyload an Astro, while BX & CX (as well as DX) models will work fine with a regular Saber.įor keyloading, you use the same cable as a regular Saber, TKN8506, and the pinout is available here. The radio uses a third generation keyloader, there is a retro kit to upgrade the DES-XL key loader, and the data in and out pins are different. This causes problems since the center pin on the radio may not make contact and you will be transmitting into an open (bad). There are some cheap adapters that have a recessed center pin on the female side. Be sure that you use a high quality adapter if you are going to convert from the SMA to something else. In actual fact - aside from cosmetics and accesory/antenna connections, the two radios (XTS-3000 and ASTRO Saber) are 'electrically identical' - S.S.-product support engineer, '99-'01.Īll these radios use a standard SMA connector for the antenna.
Most of this information is for the Astro Saber, but since the XTS3000 and its family are programmed by the same RSS, a lot of the information will be relevant for it too.
