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.
