So I finally went out and got myself a GPS unit for my mobile BCT15X, and so far I'm happy with it. Its accurate when tracking and locks onto my location decently quick. However...after spending about an hour setting up the locations in FreeScan for the location based scanning (the main reason I got the thing), I proudly mounted it in the test truck and sent it to work. I am 99% confident in my programming of the locations and their accuracy. I set each location to the center of each county, then set the range to the average size of the specific county (I scan via county instead of departments like PO or FD). The unit is working flawlessly so far, accurate GPS locating, accurate speed, and good connection, but it wont switch counties.
After reading the manual a few times, I caught this, "...automatically lock and unlock trunked sites and channel groups based on the location information..." Easier to Read Manual. Does this mean it does not switch conventional sites/systems?
Each conventional system is GPS enabled and the lat/long, and a range is set. The individual groups arent set however, nor is GPS enabled for them (mainly because FreeScan says thats only applicable for XT scanners, and I dont need specific groups enabled, I want them all on with the system).
