HP-2: hp2 favorites not working

[SirJ]

So I have several favorites list set up about two pages worth everything works except for three favorites list that are outside of my area.

If I use the full database I can listen to the same systems that I had put in a favorites list when I click on my favorites list it loads very fast but it doesn’t load any frequencies it sits at zero when I hit listen it gives me the option of cutting service types changing my range or changing at your service

I am not sure what has changed, except I took scanner out of vehicle to use in the house.

You had a gps connected in vehicle? But no gps now in house? If so, I’d say the scanner is confused about its current location. Put a location in manually (on scanner or thru Sentinel) using lay/long coordinates or zip code.

So it sounds like favorites list is depending on your location even if you put the range at 0.0? You would think with a Favorites is no matter where you are or what’s plugged in if you click on your favorite lists you should be able to scan it for example I have a Favorites tab or list that is in a city that’s 40 miles away meanwhile I have another favorite/it’s 5 miles away the 5 miles away favorites this is the one it’s not working however the one that’s 40 miles away I can go ahead and scan I mean I’ll probably not pick it up because I’m 40 miles away and only using a rubber duck.

Since I had the profile saved on my laptop I reloaded the scanner and it works again however after two days it has happened again where these physical favorites list just kind of don’t work

Check under Edit Profile> Select Favorites List> Location Control> Select No, close to save.

If location control is active on the favorites list, you need a location. When you lose contact with a gps, by either unplugging it or turning scanner off, I am pretty sure it keeps that last position and uses it until scanner can talk to a gps again, or you manually set a location.

Correct.
