2. You will receive Departments/Sites that have a range equal to your scan range setting plus
the programmed range of the Departments and Sites. For example, if your scan range is set
to 10 miles and a Department/Site range is set to 30 miles, and that Department/Site is less
than 40 miles away from your current location setting, it will be enabled in your Favorites List
according to both range settings.

zip/postal code) and then set the range to 20 miles, Location Control will not add the other
channels included that extra 10 mile range.
