How Does the HomePatrol-2 Work?
What You Do
When you set your locaSon, HomePatrol-2 searches its databases for channels near that locaSon. If you
enter your zip code, HomePatrol-2 searches within a 10 mile radius of the center of that zip code. If you
enter the city, that range is 20 miles from the center of the city. If you use the AutoLocate feature, that
range increases to 30 miles. If you manually enter your laStude and longitude or connect an accessory
GPS receiver, your HomePatrol-2 will select channels that apply to your precise locaSon.
HomePatrol-2 uses these databases:
Radio System Database – provided by www.radioreference.com, this database contains radio
•
system informaSon including frequencies, trunked talk groups, and geographic locaSons for
radio systems across most of North America.
ZIP Code Geographic Database – provides geographical coordinates for most zip and postal
•
codes in the US and Canada.
RadioReference SysID Database – contains system ID and geographic locaSon informaSon for
•
trunked radio systems across North America.
City LocaSon Database – includes the centerpoint of most named ciSes and counSes.
