Last I saw, it was $50.

I remember one is more than the other either DMR or NXDN but, I don't remember which one lol! Thanks folks! Either way, I'll need it for my local PD.

It's cheaper getting it from Uniden. $50. Vendors charge more

DMR is $10 more than NXDN.

If I recall correctly, that $30 was an "introductory price" from the late UPMan when the NXDN upgrade was first released. I paid the $30 for my x36HP scanners. The 'full' price later went for $50, which was my cost for the SDS100.

Exactly. That's the dealer's price when they purchase and enter the key if the customer requests it as part of a new scanner purchase.

Some places charge $75.

Add another $10 or so, if purchasing through Zip Scanners.

Cheaper purchasing the keys and adding keys to your scanner yourself . If I can add the keys anyone can / I’m short a few crayons of a full box

I hope you don't mind if I ask what are you going to listen to with the new keys ? I am in the F/W area as well..I may want to hear them as well..thanks.

There are several businesses in the DFW area that use DMR and some of the smaller communities in surrounding counties use NXDN systems.
When I was driving over the road both were in use in a lot of areas.
The one key that I didn't get was ProVoice. I don't know of anyone using it in this area. And while I was still working, I only ran into a few systems that used it. I bought my SDS100 from a gentleman in Phoenix Arizona years ago and he had purchased every possible option for the radio at the time. (the waterfall feature wasn't available)

Here in the DFW metro area, DMR is used by a number of businesses, as well as some school districts. Their PDs are quite often on NTIRN, but individual schools are using DMR for operations, bus dispatching, and other things at individual school campuses. A number of the hospitals use DMR systems, as well as the hotels. Highland Park used DMR for public safety, until they, and University Park, switched to the GMRS system. Offhand, I can't think of a local public safety agency using DMR. If you don't already have the DMR upgrade, adding it would let you monitor CareFlite. With six helicopters here in North Texas, they are very busy.

There are several businesses in the DFW area that use DMR and some of the smaller communities in surrounding counties use NXDN systems.

You're probably thinking of the "Best Southwest" cities (as they call themselves): Cedar Hill, Desoto, and Duncanville. They were on a NXDN system, as was Lancaster. Lancaster was not on the same system, but was NXDN, and could coordinate with Desoto, especially on incidents on I-35E, which splits the two apart. All four joined NTIRN several months after Dallas, & Dallas County, made the move to that system. (It was previously called "Fort Worth Regional Radio System" (FWRRS),) They no loner use NXDN, and I don't think any other municipality is using NXDN at this time, I forget which ones, but I think maybe a couple of school districts were using NXDN instead of DMR. The only current, significant, NXDN system in the metro area, other than a couple of SMR systems, is the Baylor-Scott and White hospital system. They use that here in DFW, as well as their campuses in the Waco-Temple area, as well as several others.
