Hi,
I've been monitoring a nearby NXDN 9600 baud system. It uses a single UHF frequency.
If I program this as a conventional digital channel, the radio will never display any info, mainly the UID is what I'm after. The radio sysadmins programmed several of the radios to send custom UIDs when they talk. Things like Dispatch etc.
I set this freq as a digital only for audio and the squelch I'll either try RAN Search or actually enter the actual RAN of 4. It does not seem to matter as it will never display the UID or RID on the scanners display or any external programs like ProScan.
I'm trying the same things on a 436HP, 536HP and an SDS100 but all have the same results.
As an experiment, I added this single frequency as a NXDN One Frequency in a new favorite list.
This allows the UID or RID to be displayed as I'd like but this is the odd part, none of the radios mentioned above will even stop on the signal when it is active even when is ID Search Mode. In order to hear the audio when they talk in NXDN one freq mode, I must first simply do a channel Hold on any of the test talkgroups I've added in this FL and then any of the models listed above will stop on the frequency when it is active AND display the UID! The Bug is the fact I must first do a Channel Hold on any TG I've added for the system. It does not matter if it is a real TG or not, just Channel Hold and release that hold after you power the radio on and it will pickup the talk on this NX96 frequency when they talk plus display the UID or any Alias UID if programmed by the sysadmins for the users.
Or... is the bug in the fact that when I set this up in conventional mode with Digital Audio Only, it does not display any UID info at all when they talk?
I don't know which is what I'd consider a bug as I guess I'm not really sure if this single NX96 frequency should even be setup as a NXDN One Freq type system or as a simple Conventional channel but with Digital Audio only. Regardless, there seems to be a bug here somewhere unless there is something really odd about the way the users radios are programmed. I have no idea what kind of radios they even use. This is also not listed in the DB here yet so it's no help.
DSDPlus simply shows it as a NEXEDGE9600 CB RAN:4 signal when they talk. DSDPlus shows the Alias assigned as well if one exists otherwise it just shows the numeric RID.
It does not show any other info.
On the Uniden's above, when I set this up as a digital only conventional channel, it shows all zero's for all info fields that will often populate in the display when other types of digital signals come on the air when a freq is setup as digital only on conventional mode. Not for this NX96 freq though.
At least I did find out I can monitor the freq plus see the UIDs or Alias's as long as I remember to first Hold on any talkgroup first before letting the radio scan or search this system along with any others I may turn on.
Am I doing something wrong that I've overlooked maybe?
