The RSS you have needs to be run on a DOS machine. I use an older 166 P1 machine that I bring up in DOS. I have Spectras on VHF high and 900 mhz. You will need to hack the software but you can find all the info you need on the WEB site BATLABS.
I have my Spectra on both AF MARS and ARMY MARS repeaters here in the DFW area and have not seen any degradation in sensitivity or power. Good luck with programming the Spectra Astros.

T04KLF9PW4AN-UCM radios - A5 head The RSS available is [RVN4001N] R06.00.05 Is this made for a DOS machine, or is it a Win 3.11 type RSS? Another snag is that the radios are on [Range 2], and I need to program [Range 1(142.xxx / 143.xxx)] frequencies into them! I think I have to do some hex editing....is that correct? Is ther going to be a slight loss of sens., due to different preselectors? The radios will be used with a repeater that is within ten miles, so a little less sens. can be tolerated. I do appreciate any assistence and wisdom. Tim W7TRH ______________________________________________________________
