Good afternoon folks just wondering I have a DMR software in my scanner and I see Carowinds I have those numbers programmed in it my scanner, but it’s not popping up DMR it’s nothing but I get signal. Just wondering how can I fix this?

How do you have your scanner programmed exactly? Do you have the proper TGs entered along with the frequency?
Also, is there actual voice traffic when you are listening? A lot of conventional DMR repeaters transmit "idle" data periodically when there is no traffic. Your scanner may display "DMR," but you will not hear anything in that case. At least that is how it is on my Unidens.

Just a thought; it's is off-season. Is the traffic encrypted?
Sorry for the late reply just let you know it doesn’t pop up DMR. It used to pop up with NXDN not DMR it’s weird. How can I fix this problem? Any ideas
I don’t think so
This might be a silly question, but have you ever successfully received traffic from Carowinds? Depending on where you are in Gaston County, it is possible you are out of range. Seeing NXDN pop up instead of DMR makes me think you might be receiving traffic from another user besides Carowinds.
Let us know what make & model scanner(s) you're using so we can better assist you. If you're seeing bars of signal but nothing's breaking squelch then chances are said signal(s) originate(s) from (a) closer station(s) using the same frequency(ies)

Next time you run across this, tune to each frequency affected via quick search: Press CHANNEL key, dial in frequency, press CHANNEL key again. Listen for activity here and this should tell you if it's from a different station on the same frequency. Yes you will see bars of signal and see "DMR" flash up on the screen even if it's from a different station on frequency. Color Code needs to match what is programmed (in the event digital tone in "digital code option" is NOT set to "search") in order for the transmission to come through

I am 31 miles from Carowinds that could be the problem why I’m not receiving a DMR because too long and plus my local schools around my area they radios on DMR and then I can pick them up
I’m not hearing it NXDN it’s just popping up in the corner. It’s not showing DMR.
Yall do know that Carowinds frequencies and department numbers are listed in the "Companies" listing in York County in South Carolina, right?

I'm sure the OP is aware. If he's picking up NXDN it's likely from a different station closer to him transmitting on the same frequency(ies). Quite possible given that the OP reports to be 31 miles away from the target licensee (Carowinds)
