I found some NXDN being used yesterday! It was on a BNSF line between Clovis, NM and Amarillo, TX - sounded like intra-train comms. It was on 160.290 using a RAN of 1. NX48 - decoded on a TRX-1 and a BCD536HP.
Question. I have a NXDN Kenwood comming from Ebay. can I program it up to monitor the NXDN rail frequencies? I have the software and cables. I am about a half mile from the yard and can hear the data rock solid.
And program ALL TX Inhibited, remove the PTT button or tape over it so thick it can never work again... You will need the RAN, the TGs in use....
Great news.I am using a NX800 and have the current software and cable. I will verify the freq, RAN and TG used. I had already planned on leaving the TX side blank so the unit could never TX.

Pretty sure conventional NXDN does not use talkgroups(at least that I could find)
If programmed as a one frequency trunked system it can, and there agencies doing such. However, the AAR Protocol as agreed is for all NXDN conventional.
You would need a system key to program a NXDN system into a NX subscriber though.
You would need a system key to program any trunked system into any Icom, Kenwood, or Motorola radio using any protocol. Thankfully, that isn't an issue with the AAR Plan being conventional.
And again, conventional NXDN does not use talkgroups.
There is little point in programming a 1 channel NXDN trunk system. It’s pointless.

As far as I know on P25 Conventional you only have like 2 TGs such as 1, and 2?
