According to Digital Frequency Search, these 6 frequencies are NXDN. Before I purchase the upgrade for my SDS200, do you know if these are active frequencies, and are indeed NXDN? Do you monitor these? And if so, after the NXDN upgrade, could I simply manually input each frequency into a Favorites List since these are not listed in the RR data base? Thank you!!! I have close family living there. It would be very helpful to me to listen to what's happening there. I really appreciate your help!

First they are Low power (5w) and Simplex (MO - Mobile/portable) Only, so you will need to be REAL CLOSE

IMHO / Experience all these are used for are
Door Alarms, Bed Alarms and the occasional voice traffic - not much to hear, but if found, worth adding the Tones/CC etc to the RRDB

They are licensed for 5 watt maximum power. Emissions show they are licensed for NFM and NXDN.

How close is REAL CLOSE? I am about a mile and a half away. I sure appreciate your insights. Thank you!

Your close enough, you should hear the traffic, if you have good antenna.

what tvengr is pointing out is they are licensed for NFM also…program them in and see what you hear. If it’s bursts of noise and static then they are using NXDN!

Depends on your antenna, cable or stock portable antenna
Within a Mile should be fine.

As others have pointed out, program them in, see what you hear, then refine your programming
to that mode, then find PL/DPL if Analog or Colors/Ran and TG's if DMR
