I have recently posted in a previous thread (http://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-tech-support/343028-cant-get-gps-work-hp2.html) about my issues getting GPS location tracking to work with my HP2.
Today I received my Uniden BC-GPSK GPS receiver and anxiously connected it to the HP2 in my car. I'm back here because the scanner is still not seeing (or responding properly to) the GPS signal. The red LED on the GPS puck is flashing indicating its position is fixed and it is receiving GPS signals. The adapter cable is connecting the DB9 and the GPS input port on the scanner.
When paging to the GPS setup page on the Homepatrol 2 shows the format and baud rate but - and this is the key - the next line says 'IGNORE GPS" with a WHITE dot next to it. Plugging the GPS into the socket on the scanner does not provide an opportunity to use or ignore GPS. Whether the GPS cable connected or not makes no difference.
I'm really pulling out my few remaining hairs on this one. We are headed out on a roadtrip Tuesday and it would be great to get this working before getting going.
All ideas appreciated!
