arcxt question

[jasday]

Hey guys, im programming ARCxt while im waiting on my 996xt to come in. While im programming a system, im putting in the GPS information. Do i need to copy the GPS information into the group setting or will it take the initial GPS setting from the system programming?

I'm not certain about ARC-XT, but I'm fairly sure you must enter the coordinates yourself (or download them from the web service). They don't propagate from the system level (assuming here you're working with a conventional system)

Since this is about software I've moved it to the Scanner Programming Software forum. Please use the Uniden forum for questions specifically about Uniden products. Thanks.

GPS is set at group level. If you set the global GPS data in ARC XT then it will be applied to all new Groups/sites.

So if I put the gps into the system settings, ill need to do it again in the groups for a trunked system? I did put gps under the group for the conventional system I did since there are 7 groups for the counties around me, but for the trunk systems I put the gps in the system settings and did a different system for each trunked system I programmed.

I'm not sure what you mean since there is no systemwide gps setting for trunk systems?

When first setting up a trunked system, it gives me the option to input gps when setting the system settings. Then I have another option to input gps under the group where I'm putting the tgid.

You must set them at group level.
