Using HomePatrol-2 with an Accessory GPS Receiver
Teaming HomePatrol-2 with a GPS receiver, such as Uniden's BC-GPSK lets you conSnually monitor
channels along your route as well as stay aware of events in your current area. As you travel from place
to place, HomePatrol-2 uses the locaSon informaSon provided by the GPS and selects channels to match
your locaSon. You can decide whether HomePatrol-2 will use or ignore GPS input.
Tap and hold GPS on the Radio Control bar to display the Set Up GPS screen. This screen lets you set
your coordinates' display format, change your GPS Baud Rate, and indicate GPS status.
