This radio customizing and servicing is accomplished by using a standard IBM-XT/AT (or compatible),
IBM convertible, or System/2 Model 30/50/70 computer.
Note: Prior to purchasing a computer, we recommend you test any computer's RSS “compatibility” by
connecting all the hardware, installing the software, starting the RSS and reading and writing data to
and from a radio. If problems occur, call the phone number on the front cover for help.
1.2 Prerequisites
To use RSS and to program the radios, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following:

Microcomputers.

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS), version 3.2 or later.
