I have the full set up, Home Patrol, extreme package, and Unidens GPS. I always get a GPS signal, have adjusted the range to low to max miles, but never get local channels when using the full database. When I run autolocate, it will say that I'm in towns 20-30 miles away. Monitor two counties away, but not any depts around a few miles from me. Using the "Auto Locate". I've adjusted the range up and down many times. I have also noticed that quite a few channels on RadioReference are inaccurate to their lat long listing on some systems, sometimes out of county from where they are used. But not the real issue here.
I'm set at the Default speed 4800 baud and Default – DD.dddd
Selected my types of agencies I want to scan already. (Law, Law TAC, EMS, EMS Tac, Fire, Fire TAC etc.)
Not sure if I have bad GPS, not programmed scanner right, or dumb operator.
My impression of how this was supposed to work was, I have a favorites list made for my local area. When I leave local area. I select full database, have GPS cranked up and set range, and listen to departments as I drive through their area.
Thanks if you can help, PLEASE, no uneducated guessers or people asking if I have the cable plugged in, these are demeaning and solve nothing).
