Dodge County NXDN

[kayn1n32008]

Hi All

I have been helping a member try and get a NX220 programmed for receive only to listen to public safety in Dodge County

Does anyone know what RAN codes are being used on the various frequencies utilizing NXDN used by public safety?

 

[RRR]

Encrypted last time I tried to monitor them.

 

[jw_simpson]

Are all of them encrypted? Even fire and ems?

By the way this is dodge county Georgia we’re talking about.

Not sure, but I'm certain Eastman is encrypted as well.

....I'm familiar

There is a certain Kenwood dealer in the general area that likes to Encrypt every NXDN system they sell/install/maintain. Seems to be a selling point.

Where is said kenwood dealer located?

Although they wouldn’t be able to help me much would they?

How can you tell?

also I have my radio programmed to the dodge county fire dispatch (countywide) as well as the Eastman fire department dispatch (EFD Dispatch). I can hear the pages as well as the dispatcher talking. however I cant hear the fellow firefighters. for instance when we get a call everyone call our dispatcher "911" so they call us out. I can hear the call just fine. but when I fellow firefighter/first responder (lets say he's with "GVFD" and his badge number is 826") when they call out and he responds with " 826 to 911 I'm responding", I cant hear that. like y radio doesn't even recognize that there's been a transmission. Why might that be?

if you're hearing the dispatcher on analog, it's for the pagers. you can't hear the figrefighters because they're most likely transmitting on digital.

 

[jw_simpson]

yes, I was told by my fire chief last night that we transmit digital but they dispatch analog.

Also, out of the blue. I started picking up some traffic on my Dodge County Sheriff's Office channel. although I can only hear units near me I suppose. I have a Kenwood nx-220, And when set to scan the green light indicating that a transmission is coming in flashes. Almost constantly. why would that be. I went and very tediously listed that particular frequency 126 times each with a different ran and wave length. the ran is 32 and very narrow. But my question is, why can I only hear units near me, and no dispatchers or anything like that?

 

[TRAYSCAN]

What is the number of the frequency (example: 154.9050) that you were hearing the Dodge Co Deputies on, or do you know?

 

[RRR]

Most likely the units aren't transmitting ENC, but the repeater is.

Won't last long now til they are also ENC, though....

 

[jw_simpson]

so to be able to hear them it would require a RAN number correct?

 

[RRR]

Sighhhh.....

 

[relicwr]

so to be able to hear them it would require a RAN number correct?

no, it just doesn't need to be encrypted. RAN is like an analog PL/CTCSS

also I have just came up with a new question regarding the programming of the Kenwood NX-220. I was wondering how I could get the battery indicator to show in the LCD? thanks.
