MTSX RSS TUTORIAL
3.3 PROGRAMMING A BASIC MTX8000 TRUNKED RADIO
In this tutorial, we list the desired features, address the major decisions involved, and give step-by-step
instructions for programming a basic MTX8000 trunked portable radio
3.3.1 Desired Features
Let's assume the following features are desired:
• Two systems, two subfleets/talkgroups each
• Talkgroup scan with one list
• Telephone interconnect with a call list
We will assume that the factory defaults are suitable for most parameter values.
3.3.2 Major Decisions Involved
To program the desired features above, the approach with the RSS will be:
1. Determine desired number of systems and subfleets desired and their configuration.
2. Determine desired feature systems to use (basic, scan, etc.).
3. Determine desired features to program radio-wide (all systems).
4. Determine desired features to program per-system per-personality, etc.
3.3.3 High Level Programming Flow
The overview of the flow of programming in this example is as follows:
1. Read the radio.
2. Merge the TCMS download file with the radio's codeplug.
3. Assign button/switch functions that differ from factory defaults.
4. Program the phone list.
5. Reference the scan list to each personality.
6. Assign personalities to switch positions on the zone/channel screen.
7. Fill in the scan list with desired zone/channel entries.
8. Program the radio.
3.3.4 Step-by-Step Specific Programming Instructions
We have designed a sample chart (Page 3-14) for recording the features you wish to program into your trunked
radio. See Appendix F for a blank form you can use for future radios.
