I will be honest. I do not know enough about NXDN and how the RAN/TG/ID inter-relates.
for instance.
here is the note we are provided when entering NXDN talkgroups:
"NXDN Icom IDAS decimal talkgroup format is XXYYYY where XX is Home Repeater (1-30) and YYYY is group ID (0001-2047)"
Note that Dixie is >>IN THE DATABASE<< as a "TYPE D" NXDN system. There is only one other "TYPE D" NXDN system in the Florida database - and that's
Southeastern University (NXDN) Trunking System, Lakeland, Florida - Scanner Frequencies
So - it seems to me looking at the basic info on the internet:
NXDN-trunking (TYPE-D) is a distributed logic-based architecture where no control channel is used, and all channels available in the system can operate as traffic channels.
comms.kenwood.com
that NXDN TYPE D is just a digital variant of LTR. Ergo --- the "HOME REPEATER" is absolutely critical to track the system.
I would venture to guess that the entries in the RR Db for Dixie are wrong --- wrong in that each one has "11" as the home repeater - the "XX" in the TG entry laid out above.
it is also interesting to note that the TGs for Dixie Co. that ARE in the Db --- do NOT meet the TG restriction on the note above --- all but one of them are > than 2047......
So -- bottom line --- I have no idea what's going on in Dixie county until someone spends a few hours with DSD+ listening to the sites and activity to give a better picture of how the system actually works.
For
@kd4efm -- do you know the technical details of NXDN Type D? Is the TG numeric restriction above accurate in that you cannot have TGs > 2047??
