1.CENELEC Radio Compatibility

The GM900 RSS is given compatibility with GM900 radios which conform to
CENELEC (Intrinsically Safe) approval.

2. Mid-Band

The GM900 RSS is given compatibility with those GM900 radios which transmit
and receive in the mid-band frequency band (66-88 Mhz)
                    
3. Mandown                                            
The mandown feature programming will operate correctly. Previously the radio
mandown feature would be activated at the default, not the programmed value
of mandown timer.   

4. Shortcut Menu / Information Screen 
(Found on the RSS MAIN SCREEN)
A shortcut menu is available via the main screen that allows quicker 
programming of a group of radios that have the same basic configuration, but
that differ in, say, select 5 sequences, Tx/Rx frequencies.
A radio information screen has been added to the main menu to give the user
general information about the radio currently being configured. (This may 
be printed by use of the standard PC 'print screen' button)

5. Standard Handset Support / Key Debounce Time
(Found via F4:F2:F9 from the RSS MAIN SCREEN)
The standard handset support and key debounce features are now configurable
via the RSS. The standard handset support is used with the particular 
accessory of the GM900. Key Debounce Time is useful in data transmissions 
with older versions of GM900 series radios.

6. Default Codeplugs
Default codeplugs of selected radio models supported by this RSS have been 
put onto the installation disk, and will be automatically copied onto the
hard drive in the \RSS\GM900 directory upon installation of the RSS. These 
codeplugs contain example configurations of the select 5 and PL signalling 
systems
