I'd heard that too, but here's the dillemma...the radios are out of production, unsupported, etc. So is the software. I spoke with a CSR at Motorola and stated, rather directly, that if you're going to pull support for the radios and software that's fine, but it should still be available ; otherwise you're forcing people to buy completley new systems for no good reason.
There are problaby 100,000 Saber I/II/III radio's on the surplus shelves right now as they're being replaced with digital sets. That means people will buy them, and there will still be a market for good radios that aren't "state of the art". They could still make FREE MONEY by selling the software so people can program the radios they buy.
Then I told her that if they weren't selling it, weren't distributiing it, and wouldn't make it available, it was essentially abandonware and free for anyone to use since there licensing agreement only covers supported software.
