Welcome to the ASTRO Radio Service Software application!
This Radio Service Software (RSS) manual is your guide to customizing and
programming a variety of features into an ASTRO radio. Modern
microprocessor chip technology used to manufacture this radio and the
ASTRO RSS (a computer program, which when interfaced with a radio,
electronically programs a radio) make it possible for you to personalize a radio
with a unique set of features for each individual customer. No tools are needed.
The RSS computer program resides on the diskettes you received in the
package with this manual. The radio’s customization and servicing is
accomplished using an IBM
®
compatible computer with an 80386 or newer
processor.
Note: The alignment and troubleshooting sections of this manual
are intended for use by qualified communication technicians and
maintenance personnel only.
