Important Note on 
ASTRO SABER vs. ASTRO XTS 3000
 
About ASTRO XTS 3000
 
ASTRO XTS 3000 is an addition to the family of Motorola ASTRO Digital Portable radios. Like its 
predecessor the ASTRO SABER radio, the ASTRO XTS 3000 can be programmed using the ASTRO Portable

between the two types of radios. These variations are noted in the appropriate screen views captured in 
this manual....
