INTRODUCTION MTSX RSS 1.2 PREREQUISITES To use the RSS to program the radios, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following: 1. Microcomputers. 2. MS-DOS operating system, version 5.0 or later. This application requires: 80386 or 80486 DOS 5.0 or later 4 Megabytes of RAM or greater. The powerful features and extensive flexibility of these new radio families require much more codeplug data validation than in the past. For complex configurations, it is recommended that the RSS be execu

MTSX RSS INTRODUCTION The new install program will determine if your system has an adequate amount of memory available (3M) and a 286, 386 (or 486) CPU for extended memory operation. If present, the RSS will be installed. The following line should be added to the CONFIG.SYS file if necessary: device = c:\dos\HIMEM.SYS device =c: \dos\EMM386.EXE OFF Files = 30 NOTE The DOS MEM command may be used to determine the amount of available memory in your machine (i.e. type c:\dos\mem.

Falling between this range is the microcomputer, which is common in many households and businesses today. Whatever their size, most microcomputers (hereafter referred to as computers) consist of a monitor, a system unit, and a keyboard. 2.2.1.1 Monitor Mo

GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS 2.3.1 Random Access Memory (RAM) Random Access Memory (RAM) is a storage place in the system unit used to run programs and operating systems. The amount of RAM varies from computer to computer, and it directly affects which programs will run on your computer. With more RAM you can run larger programs. Most programs indicate how much RAM is required to run the RSS. You must have at least 200k of free RAM to execute this RSS. 2.3.2 Read Only Memory (ROM) Read Only Memory

With the 5-1/4” diskette drives, after a diskette is inserted as far as it will gently go, you must close or push down the “drive door” located on the outside of the drive or else the computer will not read the data on the diskette. This drive door generally swings down and locks into place when firmly pressed, and it releases when gently pressed back the other direction when you want to remove y
