According to the Easier to Read BCD436/536HP Manual in the GPS section, it suggests to "A good application of this feature would be to set the longitude and latitude for each multi-site system transmitter as usually you can receive at least a handful in any given location."

My question: How do you set the longitude and latitude for each site. I can't find it anywhere in the manual for the 436HP nor the Sentinel software. What am I missing? Is it in the database file somewhere? I don't think the database can be edited.

Thanks in advance for you're help on this.

Go into the Sentinel Favorites Editor then click on a Site. You should see a Location tab on the right side.

While you are in there, (location tab), also note the range setting. This is the radius of the GPS circle (estimated RF propagation) of that site. Note that if a simulcast 'site', it'll be the estimated center of ALL the individual transmitters coverage, not any individual one
