For All GPS enabled scanners:
- Make sure that the GPS Baud Rate on the scanner is set to 9600 Baud. The default rate on the scanner might be set to 4800, be sure you adjust it to 9600 when using this device. The rate is set in the Settings Menu on your scanner, please refer to the Owner’s Manual for the specific method of adjusting this on your scanner.
