Welcome to the world of two-way radio programming. This Radio
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. This feature
set makes these radios ideal for commercial businesses and police and
fire protection services that typically utilize radios in their vehicles.
Modern microprocessor chip technology used to manufacture this
radio and the MCS 2000 RSS (a computer program, which when
interfaced with a radio, electronically programs a radio) make it
possible for you to personalize a radio with a unique set of features for
each individual customer. No tools are needed.
The RSS computer program resides on the diskettes you received in the
package with this manual. The radio’s customization and servicing is
accomplished using an IBM

Model 30 or higher
computer.
