Using HomePatrol‐1 with an Accessory GPS Receiver Teaming HomePatrol‐1 with a GPS receiver, such as Uniden's BC‐GPSK lets you continually monitor channels along your route as well as stay aware of events in your current area. As you travel from place to place, HomePatrol‐1 uses the location information provided by the GPS and selects channels to match your location. You can decide whether HomePatrol‐1 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. Connecting Your GPS to HomePatrol‐1 NOTE: Uniden's GPS Accessory Cable (BWZG1844001) is required to connect an accessory GPS receiver to HomePatrol.  Connect HomePatrol‐1 to the GPS receiver's serial port.  Once the GPS receiver acquires satellite signals and determines its location, it starts providing valid location data to your HomePatrol‐1 and the GPS Detected screen displays. Tap Use GPS if you want your GPS device to automatically enable/disable channels based on the current location. Tap Ignore GPS if you want to continue using the last set location.  HomePatrol‐1 selects channels and begins monitoring transmissions.  Note: The channel selection process occurs in the background. The only time you will notice a database change is when you approach a state border. Setting Up GPS Tapping GPS Location from the Set Your Location (or tap and hold the GPS button on the Radio Control bar) menu allows you to set HomePatrol‐1 formats to match your GPS:  Location format. DD.dddd (Decimal Degrees) or DMS (Degrees Minutes Seconds) are two different ways of presenting latitude and longitude. (Default - DD.dddd)  GPS Baud Rate 4800 (normal setting, default) 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200  "Ignore GPS" selector. If you have a GPS system in operation, you can set HomePatrol‐1 to ignore GPS input and it will focus on transmissions from the last location set. Otherwise, HomePatrol‐1 will continually update location based on GPS input. NOTE: The third row of the GPS Location screen will show the status of a connected GPS. 23
