BCD436HP/BCD536HP: BCD436HP location question on a P25

[izikgoren]

I am new with the BCD436 and managed to set it up to to get a P25 TGID's and i can hear the voice channels. However i did not setup any location information, so how does that impact (if at all) ?
I am using the BCD436 out of the US & Canada , so none of the pre-programmed systems is useful to me.
Anyone can provide some info. that will help me to understand if location is mandatory or i can leave it empty ?

If you want the scanner to automatically select channels based on your current location, then the location data is needed. Otherwise, you can just program it and use quick keys to turn things on and off manually without the location data entered.
