 NOTES ON MCS RSS VERSION R05.04.00
 ==================================

 The MCS Radio Service Software is being updated to R05.04.00
 This version is developed off the R05.00.00 release.
 
 Below is a summary of the various MCS RSS enhancements and MCS
 Radio feature support introduced in release R05.00.00 of the    
 MOTOROLA MCS 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 MCS   
 radio being programmed.  Please consult the MCS RSS user manual
 for a detailed description of the respective features.  
   
 MCS RSS R05.00.00 FEATURES:  
 --------------------------
 The following new features are available ONLY for MCS 2000 radios
 with Radio Software Version of R05.00 or greater:

 -Channel Select on a Button
 -DEK/Enhanced One Touch
 -Emergency Power Up
 -Full Spectrum Scan
 -Programmable Digit Keys
 -Radio Lock
 -Selectable PL (MPL)
 -Suspend All Scan

 MCS RSS R05.00.00 Enhancements:  
 ------------------------------
 -FLASHport Enhancement
   Location: CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT Screen (MainMenu->F9->F3)
   Note: It is strongly recommended that the MCSBOOT.ENC
   file shipped with RSS version R05.00.00 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.

 
 KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS RELEASE:   
 ------------------------------  
 - When Cloning, the progress bar is displayed while the radio is  
 being programmed.  However, when programming is complete, the   
 "Radio Successfully Programmed" status message is only displayed   
 for a very short time.  
 - For Other-Band Trunking (UHF, VHF) systems, it is possible to  
 have more than 380 channels described on the Channel Assignment   
 screen.  It requires a relatively complicated process to get into   
 this state, but it is possible.
