Hi,
I am just about to delve into the world of GPS location scanning. I have and Australian UBCD396XT, but I am sure both the BCD and UBCD operate the same with GPS. Just waiting for the GPS receiver to arrive and I am currently updating my files to include the GPS locations etc. Whilst the different manuals explain it fairly well, just some questions about running GPS based scanning.
When currently travelling, I have systems and groups arranged geographically, selecting the relevant channels etc, as I go. (What a blessing the gps receiver is going to be!!!!!). Now for a particular route, I might set up 4 systems, to cover the relevant geography. Now with GPS assisted scanning, can I put all those systems into one system, relying on the GPS location to trigger the relevant sites etc, there is no need, with such a system, to isolate different areas from each other?
I also note, that with P25 systems, you can further break up your TGID's into relevant geographic areas, associated with a GPS "centre", again to trigger those TGID's when in range. Again, whilst I have all the relevant TGID's loaded for a particular service, presently, I lock up the non relevant areas, only to unlock them as required. Thus with such a GPS system, am I correct to assume that I could leave all the TGID's unlocked, relying on the GPS to trigger as appropriately.
Leading on from that, if as I think, I can currently combine separate systems into one relying on the GPS and also with TGID's etc for a relevant route, . How does this affect the running of the unit, where as now, there are only relevant systems, groups, TGID's or conventional channels active, to having say, everything active, does the GPS interface control the scanning to only scan those relevant systems, TGID's etc that are within range or does unit scan everything and only make available that that is in range?
Any suggestions or points to relevant posts etc, on how to use a scanner that is incorporating GPS location and the best way to set it up and use it.
Many thanks in advance for you reply's,
Jeff
