BCD-325 location by lat/ long

[richardbritt]

Hi, I just bought a BCD-325p2 and I am trying to see if I can control sites being avoided and unavoided by selecting different latitude and longitude locations in the POI sites I have entered (not using a GPS). Basically I am trying to emulate the zip code function in my BCD-436. I am wanting to enter more sites than are local to me on a statewide system (NCVIPER) and not have to manually avoid multiple sites each time I travel out of my area. Reading the manual it tells how to use a GPS to do this, and it talks about entering POI information but not specifically using them together.

Thanks

Richard

For Trunked (site) frequencies, set GPS Enable at the Site level.


As well as the Group level.


For conventional systems, enable the GPS at the Group level.

Yep, I did that for the sites and talkgroups. So without a GPS hooked up, will selecting a POI manually control by avoiding sites out of range?
