If your using software, which I hope you are or I suggest you do, you need to set the radius for each system you want to monitor.

It's easiest if you import from the DB here as they should already have radius's, but you must be premium subscriber.

Unfortunately this is the only area where FreeScan is lacking - it really doesn't fully support location based scanning. However, ProScan and ARC-XT do, I think. The links for both of these are here (anything blue is a link)

And there's a section on this in the Easier to Read manual....

It's from within each system. Top right area of screen I think. There's s check box

Not sure where you got that information from but that's what I use and it works fine for me.

FreeScan cannot, yet, process points of interest, location alerts and other options available under Location Based Scanning

Sorry, I meant to say Points of Interest, Dangerous Roads nor Dangerous Crossings, all of which fall under the LBS umbrella. There's a section on it in the Uniden TWiki and in the Easier to Read manual.

Hopefully at some point Assaf will add these so it more fully supports LBS ...Mike
