[Motorola] Is RSS R06.00.05 DOS or windows?

[w7trh at comcast.net]

Thanks Jim for the info! We require frequencies on 142.xxx and 143.xxx 

When you say the RSS is for windows, do you mean "Old" windows, such as Win 3.11? If so, I am all set up, as I have a 386-16, running 3.11 and DOS 6.22. 

I realize the "Front end" may cause a reduced sens. on lower frequencies.

You have a Windows version of the software. 

The answer to your out of range frequency is how far out are you trying to go?  The Astro Spectra will complain, but take some out of range 
frequencies.  I have entered in some frequencies as far as 1.5 MHz out of it's normal window. 

You should be careful programming these radios if your not use to the software and what you can do or mess up on how the radio plays.

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.
