Understanding Location Control
Location Control allows you to enable or disable channels scanned in a Favorites
List based on your location. Actually, it enables/disables Sites and Departments
in Favorites Lists (as long as they have locations programmed) based on your
current location and scan range settings. Location Control is always enabled
when scanning from the Full Database.
To use Location Control, you have to enable it for each Favorites List (default is
No
). You also need to have locations programmed for Sites and Departments in
each list (you can’t program a location for a system). With Location Control set to
Yes
, the scanner only sees Departments/Sites with programmed locations. Any
Department/Site with no location information programmed will not be scanned. If
you append (add) a System/Department to a list from the database, the locations
will be brought in with each System/Department you append. With Location
Control set to
No
, the scanner will enable all Sites and Departments in your
Favorites List no matter what the scan range or Site/Department range is set to.
You don’t need a GPS to scan by location if
all
of the following apply:
1.
You have Location Control set to
Yes
for each Favorites List you want to use
with Location Control.
2.
You set (by zip/post code, Auto Locate, or manually), or select a location.
3.
Your Departments and Sites have locations programmed.
The scanner then compares your location data with Site and Department data to
determine which channels to scan.
Conceivably, you could program everything you want to hear into one Favorites
List and scan just by selecting locations rather than enabling/disabling lists. If you
are traveling long distances a GPS device would be a better way to go.
