[Motorola] Saber I

[KB0NLY]

If its not a Sys Saber then you shouldn't have 255ch.

And I have seen Sys Saber's recased with regular saber cases, and vice 
versa, so you never know unless you tear it apart and verify board part 
numbers, etc..

I once bought what was supposed to be a UHF Saber III and it turned out to 
be a Sys Saber that someone tossed in a Saber case.
