connection, open the Receiver or Transmitter
Conguration screen by clicking on the button
in the Main screen. Click on the Receiver or
Transmitter menu, then on the ID button. Click
on the ‘Read’ button. The serial number, model
number, rmware version and last programmed
date should appear in the appropriate elds.
Programming settings are divided into two
categories, Global options and Channel
options. When the Receiver or Transmitter
menu is selected from the main screen, both
the Global and Channel options for the current
channel are displayed. The RSS may be used
to save a Receiver or Transmitter conguration
to disk. This function allows the user to save
a “standard” conguration, and use it as a
starting conguration for all modules. An archive
of congurations from each radio system in
operation may also be kept so that replacement
radios can be programmed easily.
If the MT-4E Receiver or Transmitter is
purchased without the P25 Digital rmware
upgrade, the P25 Digital options will not be
available in the RSS software.
A service mode allows tuning, testing and setup
of the Receiver and Transmitter modules. Analog
and P25 Digital test modes may be selected
by the Radio Service Software, such as Bit
Error Rate testing andTest Pattern generation.
Adjustments may also be performed in the
Service mode, such as audio levels, RF power
output and reference oscillator adjustments. The
Service mode is covered in the Radio Service
Software Tuning Chapter.

PROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION
Receiver and Transmitter programming is
performed with the PC-based Radio Service
Software (RSS). A type A to 5 pin mini-type B
USB cable (included with the software) is used
to connect the USB port of an IBM compatible
computer to the USB port on the front panel
of the Receiver or Transmitter module. The
RSS allows the Receiver or Transmitter to be
programmed for operating frequencies, CTCSS
and DCS signaling, P25 Digital settings such as
NAC and TGID, modulation type and many other
parameters.
System Recommendations
• Microsoft Windows XP
Recommended Minimum Specication
• Pentium III Processor - 500 MHz
• 256 MB Memory (RAM)
• 1 GB Free Disk Space
Installation
The RSS should install automatically once the
CD is inserted. If not, run SETUP.EXE, located
on the CD.
Note: The Receiver and Transmitter must
be programmed separately.
Once the connections are made, the Radio
Service Software may be run on the computer
and the radio switched on. The rst time a
Receiver or Transmitter is connected, the USB
drivers will need to be installed from the CD
using the Hardware Update Wizard. To test the
