Before you exit the RSS, always ask yourself these questions:
Did you apply the changes to the radio (that is, save the changes
to the radio)?
Did you apply the changes to a computer file (that is, save
programming to an archive file)?
If you are not at the MAIN MENU, press the Esc key to return to this
menu, and then press F10 followed by F2 to exit to the DOS prompt.
