The MX 1000/2000/3000 can only be programmed with the RSS designed for them, it is not cross compatible with the RSS for the Saber. The only difference that we know of is the RSS. The accessories, programming cable, and accessory connector pinout of the MX versions are identicle to those of the Saber. The MX 1000/2000/3000 are the export version of the Saber I/II/III respectively. If you have a Saber with a display, you may want to review the Saber Error Codes explanation.

If you have an old MX rapid charger, you can get an adapter, part number NTN5564B, to convert the pocket so it will charge your Saber batteries.
Of the three terminals inline, the center is 7.5V+ the one nearest the negative terminal is S+, the opposite is S- (sense pins). The offset terminal (near the rear edge) is the NEGATIVE terminal.

The Converta-Com does act a bit flakey with the data lines interrupted. Switch with the necessary number of poles, and add a connector for the RIB. It is possible to go into the Converta-Com and cut the lines that go to the proper pins on the radio, insert a
