Sabers are fantastic radios, basically bulletproof. The only problem with commercial Motorola stuff is you usually need to have them programmed by a dealer at $50/hour, and a lot won't program GMRS frequencies onto your radio. You could do it yourself if you had the proper cables and RSS (software), but the latter is very hard to come by illegitimately because Big M stomps out RSS pirates sans merci. There's also the issue of GMRS compatibility in that you have to get others to tune to YOUR frequencies since the Saber isn't field programmable.
If you're buying a large lot and focusing on specific frequencies for your team only, they're a great choice though.
