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 ?
