 NOTES ON MCS RSS VERSION R04.00.00
 ==================================

 The MCS Radio Service Software is being updated to R04.00.00.
 This version is developed off the R03.10.00 release.
 
 Below is a summary of the various MCS RSS enhancements and MCS
 Radio feature support introduced in release R04.00.00 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.

 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.
