PSREdit500 not showing all trunked systems

[mghoskins]

I just purchases a Whistler 1065 scanner. I have downloaded PSREdit 1065 and have a premium membership to Radioreference.com. I live in Paulding County, GA and when I view the database on Radioreference.com I see three trunk systems:

System Name	Type	City
Georgia Fleet Talk (NXDN)	NXDN NEXEDGE 4800	Various
Greystone Power LTR	LTR Standard and Passport	Dallas
Paulding County	DMR Motorola Capacity Plus Multi Site (TRBO)	Dallas

But when I import trunked systems into PSREdit500, the only one that shows up is the Greystone Power LTR. I have successfully programmed the scanner using PSREdit500 using conventional objects, but wanted to try it with trunked systems.

Am I missing something?

The WS1065 can't decode the NXDN or DMR formats, so PSEdit won't show them.

Gotcha, just figured that out. Is there a preferred scanner for those formats?

I try to avoid recommending anything, but in my opinion if you want to do trunked NXDN or DMR stick with a Uniden as they properly trunk-track those formats. For conventional DMR or NXDN I prefer Whistler.

Thank you for the information. This is a lot more complicated than expected. I have all the local frequencies in as conventional objects, but when a signal comes across the communications are full of static. Very hard to understand. I thought maybe the trunked dmr may be clearer as I think there is a transmission tower closer to me. I guess I have some more work to do to figure this out. May consider just putting a better antennae on the whistler or sending this one back and getting a something that can handle the trunked DMR.

One of the Uniden scanners, with the paid upgrades for DMR and/or NXDN, can correctly track DMR & NXDN systems.

In the Whistler series of scanners, the TRX-1 (handheld) and TRX-2 (base/mobile, as is your WS-1065) can receive DMR & NXDN systems, but will not correctly track them. If your systems of interest have a limited number of frequencies, and are not very busy, you may find the way they handle those formats meets your needs. However, remember that you cannot simply hold on a talkgroup on the Whistler scanners. They monitor DMR & NXDN systems based on the transmission's emissions, not based on the talkgroup. One of the Uniden scanners, with the upgrade, can hold on a specific talkgroup.
