Might have to sell a jammer for this. Oh wait I am.

Yes, I'd really like to get that 996 for the car. I just need to get a HAM license to make having a scanner in the car legal, here in FL.

Location-Based Scanning (GPS)

(also see Population Area Centerpoint)

If you connect a GPS unit to the scanner, it can automatically enable/disable systems based on the geographic information you provide:

* Latitude (center of the range)
* Longitude (center of the range)
* Range (radius of a circle around the Latitude/Longitude) which can be selected from .5/1/3/5/10/20/30/50 miles

Rather than center the lat/lon on the antenna site for the system and set the range to the receivable range for the system, it makes more sense to center these settings on the geopolitical center of the system, and bound the range to encircle that entity. That is, while I can technically hear the Arlington TRS from west Fort Worth, I don’t really want to. Instead, I’d set the lat/lon/range values to approximate a circle around the Arlington city limits so that I would not hear Arlington until I approached/entered Arlington.

Also, not all geopolitical areas are perfect circles. You can modify the shape of the system by entering multiple sites for the system (even though the system might have only one site) and use different location settings for each site. For example, stack two circles to make a tall, narrow scan area for the system.

now that is cool

The GPS stuff sounds awesome theoretically but I wonder how useful it really is.

Whats the diff between the two. The features look the same.

I think the only difference is that the BCD966T is digital.
