Scanner newb here,
I purchased a BCD536HP yesterday, and am in process of setting it up.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is kind of a hub for ham activity. Within 50 miles or so of where I live, there are 72 2m repeaters, 41 1.25m repeaters, 139 70cm repeaters, and 35 or so more on 6m and 10m.
Repeater frequencies and locations are a matter of public record. Why are they not included in the database?
Additionally, is there any way to do location-based scanning with the GPS module on user-entered frequencies? I'd really like my scanner to only be scanning the "nearby" repeaters while I'm driving around.
