    Service Software (RSS) manual is your guide to customizing and programming a variety of features into the MCS 2000 radio. The MCS 2000 series of Mobile radios has a unique set of features, including unique PL/DPL codes for each channel, a variety of signalling abilities with channel scan, and the convenience of maintenance-free tuning due to the wide-band capability.
  • Page 8: Prerequisites

    Prerequisites To program radios using the RSS, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following: Microcomputers The radio’s available features (Refer to the appropriate Radio Operator’s Manual.) Your customers’ needs MS-DOS operating system, version 5.0 or later This RSS requires a minimum of 510 kilobytes of free RAM to run. The DOS MEM command can be used to determine the amount of free memory available on your computer (that is, type c:\dos\mem and hit Return ).
