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 ). The location of MEM.EXE may vary from computer to
computer. DOS 5.0 is required. It is also strongly recommended that this
RSS be run on a computer with the following minimum configuration:
80386 CPU or higher
DOS 5.0 or later
4 MB of RAM (1MB lower + 3MB or more extended) or greater
For complex radio configurations, it is recommended that the RSS be
executed from a RAM disk. This will reduce execution time
significantly.
Note: This application is compatible with DOS 6.0, but cannot
be run as a Double Space file.
To configure your computer with a RAM disk, you need to modify your
CONFIG.SYS file with the following statements:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\MEM386.EXE OFF
FILES=30
In order to run the RSS from the RAM disk, a .BAT (batch) file should
be used to copy the necessary files from the hard drive to the RAM disk.
Archive files are not affected and must be saved on the hard drive or
floppy drive as usual.
Note: If you are a computer beginner, refer to the DOS manual
that came with your computer for a detailed description of DOS
procedures and commands.
