Thanks Bruce, that completed my list. The 996’s will be happy.

If someone has these in decimal degree format and can submit them to the database and/or post them here, I will work the coordinates into the database so that you can use the web import function to bring them into your scanners.

Also, is there a standard radius that everyone is using for each site? Some local help to that end would be great too.

 

[mikeATtleccdotnet]

What format is best for you? MDB, XLS or CSV?

 

[n0nhp]

The radius will vary greatly.


Western Colorado and the Eastern plains will be 50 mile or more.
Very few of the cars that use Abajo will be within 50 miles of it.

The Front range metro will be as little as 5 miles up to 15 miles.

Just my suggestion is to default everything to 50 miles and let the users adjust the distances as they use the sites.

I'm not seeing much discussion on this, so I will work the DTRS sites in with a radius of 50 miles. Radii can be modified by the owner of the scanner after the web import is complete.

I have worked the submission with the lat/lon of all DTRS sites in so they should all be there. Uniden 996 people, have fun!

Thank you to the kind contributor of the coordinate information!

Along the same line, are there any GIS gurus out there who can give the lat/lon (in decimal degrees) of the center of each county in the state and the corresponding radius (in miles) around that point which will encompass the entire county? This is needed for the correct importing of each county's talk groups from the RR database into a GPS-enabled scanner.
