 NOTES ON MTSX RSS VERSION R06.00.00
 ===================================

 The MTSX Radio Service Software is being updated to R06.00.00.
 This version is developed off the R05.60.00 release.

 Below is a summary of the various MTSX RSS enhancements and MTSX
 Radio feature support introduced in release R06.00.00 of the    
 MOTOROLA MTSX RSS.  Most of the new features allow the   
 programming of radio options.  Therefore, the availability of   
 these options depends on the capability of the particular MTSX   
 radio being programmed.  Please consult the MTSX RSS user manual
 for a detailed description of the respective features.  

 MTSX RSS R06.00.00 FEATURES FOR MTS 2000 RADIOS:
 -----------------------------------------------
 The following new features are available ONLY for MTS 2000 radios
 with Radio Software Version of R06.00 or greater: 

 -Channel/Zone Select on a Button
 -Full Spectrum Scan
 -MOSCAD
 -Selectable PL (MPL)
 -Suspend All Scan

 MTSX RSS R06.00.00 Enhancements:
 -------------------------------
 -FLASHport enhancement
   Location: CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT Screen (MainMenu->F9->F3)
   Note: It is strongly recommended that the MTSXBOOT.ENC
   file shipped with RSS version R06.00.00 or greater be
   selected for the 'Bootstrap Code Path & FileName'.

 -Memory/Speed Optimization
   Location: CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT Screen (MainMenu->F9->F3)
   Note: If your computer has only 4 MBytes of RAM Memory
   (the minimum recommended amount), it is strongly
   recommended that Memory Optimization be enabled. If your
   computer has more available RAM Memory, Memory Optimization
   will allow you to successively unpack a larger number of
   codeplugs at the sacrifice of some speed at unpack time.

 -Controller Board Initialization for Serial Number on MTX Radios
   Location: CONTROLLER BOARD INITIALIZATION Screen (MainMenu->F2->F9)
 

 Please Note:

 Diskette number 2 of the installation diskette set contains archive 
 templates that can be used as a starting point for cloning of MTX8000, 
 MTX9000, and MTX838 portable radios. These templates are created in the 
 image of older Privacy Plus models, notably the MTX800, MTX900 and MTX888.

 NOTE: Templates are readable ONLY with MTSX RSS Version R02.10.01 or later.

 In each case, the minimum new radio model required to cover all the 
 features of the older radio model is used. The similarity between these
 templates and the older radio models is in the assignment of controls.  The
 rotary switch, toggle switch, and side button assignments in these templates
 are made to resemble those of the older radios. In the case where there 
 are more buttons on the new radio than the old, the additional buttons are
 left unprogrammed.  Since the older radios did not support button assignments
 that could be different in Trunked and Conventional modes, the Conventional
 button assignments are left at their normal defaults.

 The naming convention for the archive files is as follows:

 The first 8 letters of the filename (to the left of the period) indicate 
 the older radio product family and model that the archive resembles.  
 The last 3 letters of the filename (to the right of the period) indicate
 the MTX8000, MTX9000, or MTX838 model that is the basis for this template.
 For example, the filename MTX900B4.B7 means that the MTX900 B4 model is the 
 radio that is covered by this template, and that the MTX9000 B7 is the model
 that is used as the basis for this template.

 Control assignments in these templates are as follows:




 MTX800   B3    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub    Vol Set    Unprogrammed  Unprogrammed
 MTX810B1 B3    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub    Vol Set   Call Response  Unprogrammed
 MTX900B1 B3    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub    Vol Set    Unprogrammed  Unprogrammed 
 MTX810B3 B5    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub    Vol Set   Call Response  Unprogrammed 
 MTX900B3 B5    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub Call Response Unprogrammed  Unprogrammed 
 MTX810B2 B7    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub    Vol Set      Phone       Unprogrammed 
 MTX888B6 B7    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub   AMSS Srch   AMSS Lock        Phone      
 MTX900B2 B7    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub  Call Response  Phone       Unprogrammed 
 MTX900B4 B7    Zone/Sys  Chan/Sub  Call Response  Phone       Unprogrammed

 In the MTX810-like templates, the Call Response button provides the Phone
 Decode function.  In the MTX900-like templates, the Call Response button
 provides the Private Call Decode function.
