targets that
have a well-
defined
jurisdiction
and their
transmission
are only
relevant when
you are within
that
jurisdiction.
To use the geopolitical approach, find the geographical center of the scanning target's territory (whether
city, county, district, precinct, or other agency jurisdiction), and set these coordinates as your center point
location. Then, adjust the range or radius to cover the boundaries of that target.
To use this method, use your chosen mapping application to zoom out so that the entire target is visible,
then, draw a circle that just covers the targets boundaries. Adjust the size of the circle to the nearest 1/2
mile increment.
Depending on the shape of the territory, you may have to choose between a lot of overlap or not covering
the entire area: jurisdiction, you might end up with a large amount of overlap. You'll have to decide which
radius that best suits your application.
For example, if your territory is a city, you'll have a lot of "extra" area if you use one single location:
