I monitor a large multi Site Con+ system. It has a total of 39 sites across four states. Since I now have the Uniden GPS, I decided to give Location Control a try on that system. It's in it's own FL, with all of the sites listed.
I put in the Lat/Long, selected "circle" and put in a range for each site. I set each site not to Avoid. I turned on Use Location Control as well. The FL and System keys are enabled.
I started the scanner and got nothing. Manually scrolling through the systems and the system doesn't even display. I rechecked the setting and tried again with no luck.
I turned off Location Control and the system appeared and scanned fine. Of course it was cycling through all 39 sites, which I didn't want.
I added the Nationwide data base to the scan selection and that works fine, so it doesn't seem that there is a problem with the GPS. I even checked to make sure that I had the correct location format and serial port speed selected.
I set the range of the GPS to 10 miles as opposed to the default of 0.0 miles.
I read through the Understanding Location Control part of the manual, twice.
I seem to be missing something, probably something obvious.
I've been doing all of this in my driveway which is no more than 10 miles from three different sites in the system and still nothing. I'm going out to do some errands, so I'll test it mobile even though I usually get all of those sites in my truck sitting in my driveway.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
