location

I've read a lot on Location Control, but am unclear on one thing. I have approximately 20 freqs listed that are various Ham repeaters used during severe weather by spotters. In order to scan all of them, can I simply turn off Location Control for that Department or do I have to just make the...

I would like to apologize if this isn't the est place to post about DMR-related questions. I didn't see a dedicated DMR board and this seemed seemed as close as I could find. My question is about DMR radios equipped with GPS for location sharing -- does anyone know of a DMR that can be equipped...

I am a long time firefighter and I've always wondered about something and I am wondering if anyone that knows the answer can help me out. How do chief officers and emergency planners determine who is due and how much is due to any given address? There must be software to determine closest unit...

Before I start to submit new Location info in Alberta for Countywide stuff. I would like to know if it can be a range that works or is it to be a set amount? Also with the newest scanners on sale today having the rectangle location type is there a way or going to be a part with that info? I...

I've noticed something odd in the AWIN listing. The RR listing for the SPRINGDALE site shows that the site is in Washington County. However, if you look at the map, the site is actually in Madison County. I have no idea why they named the site SPRINGDALE in the first place -- it's nowhere...

Does anyone know how to program Location alerts into the scanner via computer. I can't figure it out in freescan.

I'm having a hard time searching for information on locations of defect detectors in Wisconsin (Particualrly SE Wisconsin). I know the frequencies in Wisconsin and a basic map of main lines and what runs on them. But I cannot find any information on milepost or detector locations. Maybe I'm...
