Using the UBC800XLT with a GPS
Location-Based (GPS) Scanning
The UBC800XLT can make use of data transmitted from an attached GPS unit that
lets the radio automatically enable and disable systems based on the geographic
information you provide such as:
Latitude (the center of the range)
Longitude (the center of the range)
Range (the radius of a circle around the latitude and longitude coordinates
selected from 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 75.0 and 100.0 km
(0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 50.0, 75.0 and 100.0 miles)
You set the longitude and latitude to approximate the center of a geographic entity
such as your local city and set the range to encircle that center point. By doing so
you set aside reception of an adjacent city that otherwise might be undesirably
received from one extremity of your city.
In addition, all geopolitical areas are not perfect circles. Therefore you can
accommodate these variations by entering multiple sites for the system, even
though the system actually has one site, and use different location settings for
each of those additional sites.
See the programming section for specific steps required to apply location data to a
radio system.
Non-Radio Location Based GPS Features
When connected to a GPS, you can program specific location information which
will trigger an alert from the scanner. The following geographically based values
are typical of the use you might find valuable while traveling. Use the menu to input
the necessary data to enable each.
• Dangerous Xing — Stores location, and direction of travel. If you are in range,
traveling in a direction that will take you to that Point, the radio sounds an alert
at 1.0km, 0.5km and 0.1km or (1.0mile, 0.50mile and 0.10mile) from the point.
• Dangerous Road — Stores location, direction of travel, and speed. If you are
traveling at a speed greater than that specified and if you are within range of
the set location, the scanner sounds an alert at 1.0km, 0.5km,and 0.1km or
(1.0mile, 0.50mile and 0.10mile) from the point.
• Points of Interest (POI) — Stores location and range. If you approach the set
location, the radio sounds an alert.
