KPG-111D

I'm trying to use an NX-800 K2 with our state's NXDN Skywarn system. My understanding is that it's a single UHF repeater that I use, not trunked, no control channel, but it does use talk groups and I'm hitting a wall. I've never setup NXDN before or used this software either. Any help would be appreciated. I have the essentials (freq, RAN, my NXDN ID, TG numbers, OTAA), but putting it together in the software isn't clear. FWIW, I've searched around YT and elsewhere and not found enough info to get me over the learning hump. TIA.

first off have you talked with the system admin first before going any farther to make sure you are allowed on the system. and that should be your first stop for information on a system like this and how to set it up. second NXDN is fairly simple of a set up overall, think of ran codes as tones for simplicity sake. your id and OTAA is set in EDIT, NXDN1, General 1. NXDN 2 has your group and unit id list. and to make a group call you will need to go to channel edit and do a selcall on PTT

Email me kd4efm1@gmail and I will walk you through the process. Missouri or Florida?? I am still building out SW Missouri, though I have KD4EFM/R SGF up and running now.

ah did more digging on the skywarn and it is a ham thing. i did not know it was down on those bands so disregard most of my system admin comment. looks like a cool system to have would be need to have one up in my area but we don't get as much of the "Fun Weather" you guys do down there

Well, it's me (N0CDE).......and you already fixed it for me today! And yes, I lived in SW Springfield for a few years and one of my kids still does. I get back to visit when I can.
