BearTracker Warning System
The BearTracker Warning System (BWS) alerts you to nearby
public safety radio activity. This can give you an advanced warning
of police activity and other hazards when you are driving.
The earliest BWS implementations primarily monitored for the
frequencies used by mobile radio extenders -- radio units installed in
patrol cars that extended the range of the officer's handheld radio.
BWS has been extended to now include the "input" frequencies
used by public safety agencies in your state. These frequencies are
typically only receivable when you are up to 2 miles from the unit
transmitting.
Because the frequencies used vary from location to location, we've
set up the scanner so that all you need to do is select what state
you are in. From that point, BWS will use frequencies most often
used in your state to alert you to nearby activity.
Selecting your State
To select the frequencies for your state, tap FUNC (the scroll knob)
then the Volume knob. Use the scroll knob to select your state or
Canadian province, then press E (or tap the scroll knob) to use your
selection.
