Good afternoon,
Welcome to Auckland!
The best lat/long I have is:
37 00.48S
174 47.52E

or to enter as decimal degrees use:
37.0080S
174.7920E

If you want to find your actual house and you don't have a GPS, probably the easiest way is to find your house in Google Earth and take the lat/long from there.

To change it (I think, I've not had to do it before..) go to file/preferences in the menu bar
Then click on the Home Station Data tab and enter the lat/long in the space at bottom left.

Hope that helps!

 I find the easiest way it to zoom in close to your house in Google Earth, and stick in a placemark pin exactly where your aerial is. (Make sure you have already set Decimal Degrees in Tools..Options.)

In the Placemark dialogue box, it shows the lat and long, and you can copy and paste those straight in to RadarBox

Just remember, if you're west of Greenwich, the second figure is preceded by - symbol, or you'll find yourself abroad!

You have to enter the following numbers:

latitude (lat / pa in database explorer): -37.010094° (-37.0101 as RB Software uses 4 digits/numbers after the ".")
longitude (lon / po in database explorer): 174.788049° ( 174.7880)
