SECTION 3. BASIC RADIO PROGRAMMING TUTORIAL

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO SECTION

Now that the hardware and software installation is complete, the RSS is up and running, and you're familiar with the keyboard and the RSS user-interface, you are ready to personalize a radio. The tutorials that follow will walk you through the programming of radios with specific features.

The first tutorial walks a new user through the steps to program an MT2000 basic 16-channel conventional radio and saving the personality to the codeplug and archive files.

The second portion of the tutorial walks you through the process of programming an MTX8000 trunked radio.

The third tutorial involves cloning (copying) the personality data from an archive file of one already programmed radio to other radios. Cloning is used when there is a need for multiple radios equipped with the same radio features and functions.

These tutorials list the desired features for the particular application, then give an overview in a list format of the major steps involved in programming the radio, then finally walks you through the specific steps to program the features into the radio.

All of the tutorials assume that the RSS is up and the MAIN MENU is displayed. If the MAIN MENU is not displayed, follow the brief steps below. In all the tutorials, remember F1 displays help information corresponding to the current highlighted field or current screen. F10 backs you out of the RSS one menu level at a time. Esc goes directly to the MAIN MENU.
