README.TXT NOTES ON MTSX RSS VERSION R04.00.00 =================================== The MTSX Radio Service Software is being updated to R04.00.00. This version is developed off the R03.00.05 release.

MDC Status. 4. MDC Message. 5. MDC Hot Mic Emergency. 6. MDC Emergency Call. 7. Secure Punch Thru. 8. Native Language Display. 9.

FLASHport screens have been updated to contain only MTSX specific options. 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.
