Florida East Coast Railway went to NXDN this morning from Jacksonville MP 0 to Titusville MP 157, RAN 1. The remainder of the line south remains analog.

Trying to get threm in West Palm Beach..........I literally hear the train whistles from where I am staying I'm hearing nothing. Are you sure it's not all NXDN? I'm looking for something to listen to
I thought I saw a post on another site that said they are now on NXDN for the entire length.
FEC doesn't talk much been told. I don't know if the Defect Detectors go off when the train passes through.

Well I'm down here with my 396T and am not getting a peep NXDN or otherwise.
The 396T doesn't support NXDN...

I know but I would think it would make a noise oor something
As of today (March 25th), FEC is still analog here in south Florida. I hear them on a daily basis. And yes, the defect detectors sound off after the train has passed. A lot of the radio traffic consists of the dispatcher giving out form T's to the train crews, reporting crossing gate false or partial activations. listen on 160.530 and 160.770.
Bowden Yard operations are still on analog, only the road and dispatcher channels are NXDN.
About 15 mints ago on fec road 160.530 in St Augustine heard some nxdn ran 1 tg 0. I’m guessing no tg I did see rid numbers 4010 and 4012.
The road channel popped up again got a TG of 1007.

Please tell me they are not using NXDN talkgroups on the road channel. There was a reason it was FM CSQ on analog.
Been seeing tg 0 and 1007. I know csx uses a pl tone and no tone on road channels
Sure you don’t mean a “form C”?
