I cant say anything for certain about the Kenwood radio, but the ridiculous amount of hours I spend in Sprinters with OEM sound, I can say this.... in my truck at work, running a Kenwood TK-5820 with fender antenna and a 110w Motorola VHF XTL5000 on a roof whip antenna, we have zero issues with the ...

There is a company called Air-EL that makes light-up roof unit ID markings for fire/ems/police vehicles (think formation lighting on military aircraft). They also make a roof plate for mounting radio antennas and these lights, and IIRC for the tahoes and explorers they use the factory mounting bolts...

well, i went down to BearCom here in Houston, some awesome people by the way, and played around with it. Turns out, it was the cable I have, more so the Saber Hi-Rose adapter. I used one of their Saber-specific KVL cables, which mirrors an Astro Saber hi-rose adapter (all pins + 3 at the top left), ...

Totally new to the board, so excuse my ignorance in my first post. Basic rundown... I have 3 very nice, almost like-new Saber IIs I bought of ebay a while back. Probably recased, but very good condition non-the-less. Pulled them apart to check the secure modules, all show to be NTN5833C modules. So,...
