43Managing Favorites ListsRename This allows to you rename the Favorites List.See Data Naming.Delete This will delete the Favorites List.At Confirm Delete? Press E/yes or .no.Information This will show you the file size and number of Systems in the list.Understanding Location ControlLocation Control allows you to enable or disable channels scanned in a FavoritesList based on your location. Actually, it enables/disables Sites and Departmentsin Favorites Lists (as long as they have locations programmed) based on yourcurrent location and scan range settings. Location Control is always enabledwhen scanning from the Full Database.To use Location Control, you have to enable it for each Favorites List (default isNo). You also need to have locations programmed for Sites and Departments ineach list (you can’t program a location for a system). With Location Control set toYes, the scanner only sees Departments/Sites with programmed locations. AnyDepartment/Site with no location information programmed will not be scanned. Ifyou append (add) a System/Department to a list from the database, the locationswill be brought in with each System/Department you append. With LocationControl set to No, the scanner will enable all Sites and Departments in yourFavorites List no matter what the scan range or Site/Department range is set to.You don’t need a GPS to scan by location if all of the following apply:1. You have Location Control set to Yes for each Favorites List you want to usewith Location Control.2. You set (by zip/post code, Auto Locate, or manually), or select a location.3. Your Departments and Sites have locations programmed.The scanner then compares your location data with Site and Department data todetermine which channels to scan.Conceivably, you could program everything you want to hear into one FavoritesList and scan just by selecting locations rather than enabling/disabling lists. If youare traveling long distances a GPS device would be a better way to go.
